Althuough this is not the reason for not supporting shared libraries,
it is a hassle to maintain the existing Makefile rules. 

The supported platforms are:
   aix ansi bsd freebsd generic linux macosx mingw posix solaris

Of those, we don't have ready access to these:
	aix bsd freebsd solaris
and so the corresponding Makefile rules may not be up to date or optimal.
