I think you overreact here somehow. I just have not concluded what exactly the problem in 1.0.19 is for you. I am willing to get back the functionality you need. I just have not understand it. So an example is always useful to get me understand your problem. > My environment provides all dynamic and static libraries, and the user is > left up to either dynamically linking or statically linking, though it is > most often used for static linking.
