Description
Hello,
Since the dep gpu4pyscf-libxc is only to provide libxc.so, it would make sense to bundle it inside GPU4pyscf instead of having it as an external dep.
Moreover, especially, since its source live under the same tree, but the versionning differ.
This would make distribution easier as well.
Cheers,

Research direction
Start by tracing how the external gpu4pyscf-libxc dependency currently supplies libxc.so and how its source is arranged under the same tree. Review the distribution and versioning setup; done means libxc is bundled and distribution no longer requires that external dependency.
