I know this isn't an "ideal" solution, but have you considered fork()ing 
and exec()ing 'checkX' and using wait() to get the return code? That 
would require your app to have checkX installed but would avoid 
duplicating the code and/or having to library-ize it (i.e. would be 
faster to implement).

OTOH a lib (or static lib) is generally not a bad idea.
