Would you accept support for building against system llhttp?

[mgorny]

aiohttp currently unconditionally uses a vendored llhttp version. This is problematic for downstreams who wish to always use system libraries whenever possible. In particular, Fedora already unvendors it, and I'm working on doing the same in Gentoo.

Would you be interested in accepting a patch that would add the respective option to setup.py, perhaps via envvar USE_SYSTEM_DEPS or likewise?

I'm sure that would be acceptable. I wasn't aware that it wasn't setup in a way to use another version of llhttp, I had assumed that downstream packagers were already doing this.

Thanks for your reply. I've filed #10760 with a proposed approach.
