there are exceptions though Peter. Libs that are using for loadable modules need to be shared, like for imap support in php4/5. I can build php with imap support using static libs but then it is built into the core and if there was a security risk with imap (for example) everyone would be forced to have it.

Chaos is the beginning and end, try dealing with the rest.

The reason seems to be that Justin patched the old (stable) libdnet to build
shared libraries. It did not build shared on any platform, so he picked the
release number as the library version number. The newer version uses GNU
libtool and has the same install_name.
I think we should state in our policy that libraries which were not designed
to be shared libs on any platform should not be patched to make shared libs
for fink (note that libs which build shared on GNU/linux etc are okay to
patch). Otherwise we could run into this problem more often.
