Take a look at my foray into Linux CGIs for the two files that *I* had to install:

The files were:
libXext.so.6 and libX11.so.6.
It would not be unreasonable to expect that the CGI/CLI Rev engine should be statically linked and so not require any shared libraries to be present.
The majority of ISPs probably do not have X installed on their Unix servers.
That the engine requires libX11.so just makes it a hassle for us to track down a shared library and get it installed. We should not have to mess with ldd and ldconfig commands on Linux. Who knows what the commands are on FreeBSD or Solaris, for example. Or where to get the .so files from.
OTOH if statically linking with libX11 would inflate the CGI/CLI engine to like 20 MB then I agree it should continue to be done the current way. Or provide two versions: a statically linked version and a shared library version.
