I'm sorry. I am trying to read it all, but there is always something I

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this imply that *all* binaries will
be linked static? Or are you suggesting that I should build each directory
separately, and set the flags by hand before running make?
Admittedly, I can go around and change Makefiles, and that will probably
be what I'll have to do. But I also don't want a /lib, so I'll have to dig
for that as well, and perhaps there is something else I'll have to address
too, which I don't even know about.

It *would* be nice if you had some way for people to keep thing in the old
way here, and that's what I asked for. :-)
