Statically linked would, by definition, create a one fat "include all" module. It is the only reliable way to create a single executable which runs on many different versions of the same OS or even different OS's. A good static linked executable will run on both a Debian and RPM based distribution without having to install anything else. It's a real PITA, but the only way to have sanity. Otherwise you release something into the wild and get clubbed to death by willy-nilly updates to dynamically linked libraries which break things without a care in the world.

Thanks again for your help.
