These aren't static libs -- there are shared libraries which must be
installed on the device or emulator. The closest you can get to a Palm
V/Omnisky combo in the emulator is a Palm V along with the Mobile Internet
Kit libraries (released in the PalmOS Provider pavillion development seeding
area of www.palmos.com as the international web clipping tools).

Not speaking for Palm, but since they just deployed the MIK which provides
INetLib everywhere, it looks like it will be supported for a while.
