Plese immediatly revert this. You can NOT just rip out shared libraries.

Also, plese actually talk to someone who has worked on this before making
changes. We actually have shared libraries for xforms in our packages, and
if anything needs ripping out, it's the sillyness of trying to make shread
libraries from static ones, not the shared library itself.

Take care,
