I agree with Scott.  I think it is really important that libjabber be a
shared library as default.  Of course remember since we are using
automake, autoconf, and libtool it is a simple argument to ./configure to
make it shared.  That only applies to people compiling their own programs,
but then if they use precompiled binaries, it is most likely the binaries
(RPMs, DEBs, etc..) will be pretested and that way the default setup of
having a shared library will be known to work.  I also agree with Scott's
pth opinion for the same reason.
