I forgot to mention one other significant advantage of shared
libraries in my posting and I will be really surprised if no one
points this out ... with shared libraries, every programme that used
them gets a bugfix automatically without the need to recompile.  That
is certainly a plus.   And as jr pointed out (in mail), space is also
larger in memory for static programmes than dynamic ones.
