I didn't make a conscious decision to support the static vs. dynamic 
version of the library.  I'm happy to add a hook in site.config.m4 which 
lets the user select the desired library form if there's demand for such. 
I'll probably default it to static just out of habit.

Feel free to open a feature request as a reminder for me.

As for Tonni's point about no libraries, you don't need to install the 
libraries or headers if all you want is the filter; a static build of both 
the library and the binary suffice.  If however you want a package which 
contains solely our DKIM development environment, that's when this sort of 
stuff becomes interesting.

That should be all any package needs.  The other header files are for use 
in compiling the library only.

I'd call them 1 and 2 respectively since the APIs are generally unchanged 
among major version numbers.
