Thank you Patrick. When I last read about dymanic linking NetBSD the next
version of NetBSD was to be version 1.7.

I have to admit that it had not occured to me that dynamic linking might
improve internationalization. I was thinking of it from a security
perspective, where fixing a library would automatically fix all the binaries
that depended on it.
