> The semantics of shared libraries under UNIX are difficult to see.

Why?  There have been several implementations on various UNIX systems.

> Does anyone have any ideas about hwo you can share stuff like that?

Yes.  See:

	Chapter 8, "Shared Libraries", in the S5R3 Programmer's Guide;

	(Here it comes again, for those of you who haven't been paying
	attention) "Shared Libraries in SunOS", in the proceedings of the
	Summer 1987 USENIX in Phoenix.

There have been other implementations as well.
