There are two solutions:
- Improve LCL for smart linking
- Improve compiler and lazarus for dynamic lib.
Improving smart linking is not a complex task. Just start with the less
commonly used controls like TSpinEdit and see where it is used in the
LCL and the widgetset you prefer. Then make a proposal how to improve
it. Once this process and the techniques are described in the wiki on a
few examples, others will help.
