I very much share your feelings in this regards. The stupid thing about the 
OpenPKG static linking approach is that it is so hard to figure out later 
which libraries actually got really linked into the resulting binary.

I therefore hope that OpenPKG finally changes their mind with regards to how 
to deal with libraries.
