Don't know where else to ask this:

Is there any hope for getting Upp as a shared library, especially on Linux?
Or as a set of shared libraries?

It would need to be compilable via makefile for distro's (so they can make distro-specific changes).
This lack is IMO the single biggest drawback for wide distribution of Upp.

A shared lib would amongst many other PRO's give very small applications (a HUGE plus),
allow easy distribution of apps with makefiles, etc.

As it is currently to distribute source-code the recipient must create the entire Upp-development
environment locally whereas a makefile-project is much better

My specific need is to distribute source on GitHub, but cannot do so without telling whoever wants
to use it must also download the whole Upp as well - this is not good.
