We'd also need to turn on --enable-shared by default, because
--enable-embedded-perl wouldn't work otherwise. What if either the user
or configure turns embedded perl off, then? Shall we fall back to the
former default of --disable-shared? I'd prefer not to (because I think
it'd be odd) and make --enable-shared really the new default, unless
either the user (--disable-shared) or configure (think AIX) disables it.
Objections?
