Why do you think so? The build script is inseparable from the project source files. What makes the build script necessary to be separate?

There's a good reason why all libraries come with their build scripts,

that the source code is where the necessary building conditions are
defined, even if as a separate file. You can't write anything more, then
a 100 LOC source file without having to make a build script. The source
files in a project heavily depend on the build script to produce the
correct result. This is why I don't see any reason why building process
should be separated from the source code.

I don't understand what you're saying. Of course the build scripts need to be shipped with the library. I just don't think you should put the build script inline with the source code. I think it should be a separate file.
