Ferrying engines

Occasionally I see pictures of 747s carrying a fifth engine to a remote
location, such as http://www.airliners.net/open.file/379580/M/. Have any
other jets routinely used a similar ability? Was this needed for 747s
because their engines were (for the time) just too big to be hauled as
cargo on any commonly available planes?

For that matter, how do spare (or replacement) 777 engines get where
they're going these days?
