Is UVM an all-or-nothing library?

[loki]

Is the UVM an all-or-nothing type of library? By that I mean is it possible to use only portions of it by selecting which uvm files to include? Are the uvm files individually self-contained (e.g. does each file include the files it needs and so on)?

For example, if I just want the reporting macros, do I need to bring in the whole framework?

You can't compile the individual features of the UVM separately, but you can certainly use things like the reporting mechanisms, resources, command line parser separately. Other features may be harder to use by themselves. There should be almost no overhead in using only certain features of a pre-compiled package.
