I don't see any problems with this approach, except: - someone has to build and maintain those eggs - such static libraries are much overhead on systems having the appropriate dependencies available. Thinking of Linux one had (at least) to link in: * glibc (with all dependencies) * libssl + libcrypto * libsasl * libldap * liblber For my purposes the dynamically linked eggs work just great, and everyone who tried the windows egg, after installing the obvious depency OpenLDAP reported success so far. So, if you need static eggs, go ahead - I don't see much use...
