N excelemnt summary on shared libraries but I would not agree that Position
Independant Code is difficult to produce. 95+% of the code I produce is PIC
and with a more clever linker (as one would expect in that enviornment) it
could get higher.  Only systems whose instruction set was not designed with PIC
as a goal make it hard.
