        Hmm.. I don't like static binaries a much (they just blow your machine in the long run) but I can make one if needed.
I don't advocate making _only_ static binaries. But we must give people a choice. Our library requirements are rather uncommon, so for many people, it's the only practical way to try the program. It's also a great way to reduce the developers' burden of responding to mysterious bugs and "can't compile" complaints.
