upgrade what?

I'm quite familiar with the reasoning behind shared libraries, but for
a user building a library for a single purpose (e.g. to support a
single app like xastir), there is zero benefit to a dynamically linked
library, and many drawbacks, like the added complexity of building a
shared library, especially in a cross platform situation (e.g. mac os
x frequently gets left out).

IMO we'd be better off without most shared libraries.
