I have a project which relies on OpenBabel libary and I would like to make a re-distributable executable which would not require the end users to install 20 other packages and also wouldn't get them into the DLL hell. Every time there is an extra dynamically linked library the chances that something will get screwed up at the end user computer double. Unfortunately I have neither budget nor time to test software with all the different combinations of dynamic modules which might exist in the wild. The negative side effects of dynamic libraries outweigh the dubious benefits by a large margin for me. YMMV.
