Yeah, make that today...

It compiled as a shared object quite easily and everything seems to work
just fine.  If you all wouldn't mind applying this little patch (or some
variation) so that future distributions built a shared object, that
would be pretty helpful.  

I know that if the interface to the object changes, we will still have
to recompile, but in changes such as from 1.6.1. to 1.6.2, it would sure
be nice to just drop in the new library.

Thanks,
Don Porter
