hmmmm...it doesn't bother me at all to have m_m_m in a shared build.
The default httpd.conf doesn't have a LoadModule for m_m_m (or anything
for that matter...).
Back when I first met m_m_m, we couldn't build dso's on OS/390, so it
was a static build that got me (created with ./binbuild.sh, which used
"most"). Victor has got AIX dso's working now with the new improved
libtool. David sounds like he has something going for dso's on BeOS.
So are there any platforms out there that we know about that need to
build static? If not, then my objection is obsolete and withdrawn.
