At least Debian and I guess some of its derivates already do that for some time now (see Debian libdcmtk package)

Fedora project already managed to use CharLS 2.0 library: https://github.com/DCMTK/dcmtk/pull/18#issuecomment-519146275
Debian project still seems to have problems with newer versions of CharLS: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923433

- Target version set to 3.6.6
The implementation strategy for DCMTK decided by the team will be to keep the internal CharLS version available in DCMTK (for platforms where CharLS is not available as an external library or compilers that do not support C++11/C++14) but provide an option to compile DCMTK either with the internal or with an external CharLS library. For the external CharLS library, we will primarily aim at supporting CharLS 2.x. This does require several modification of the build system, though, and these will only be implemented after DCMTK 3.6.5.
