Public bug reported:
In order to write a signon plug-in to provide integration with a new
authentication method, one must use the libsignon-plugins library, which
provides some interfaces that must be used. However, this library is
currently built and installed as a static library only, which means
every plug-in that links to it, includes the entire library within the
plug-in. This causes an increase in size of of the plug-ins, and
requires that they all must be rebuilt, in the event a security issue is
discovered and fixed, in the library.
This library needs to be built and packaged as a dynamic library
instead.
** Affects: signon (Ubuntu)
