Not to mention the fact that Python on Windows has (effectively) never
supported static linking, and complaints have been scant.

When first moving the Python/Mozilla XPCOM binaries to Linux, I was
flabbergasted to find dynamic linking was considered an esoteric feature.
This certainly has been a significant barrier to getting PyXPCOM working in
a reasonable way for standard distributions.  My next significant paid job
also looks like being a Linux based embedding job where dynamic linking is
going to be a pre-requisite.

Mark.
