What's the reason that it's being linked statically?The theory was that it'd be more portable :). Also, we can't dynamically link things like OpenSSL or all hell will break loose if the target system doesn't have that. But maybe dynamically linking to system libraries and static to everything else would be ideal?
Hmm, that might work. I resorted to something similar in linking Nping for the Mac packages. I added a separate OPENSSL_LIBS variable to nping/Makefile, so that I could override it with "<...>/libssl.a <...>/libcrypto.a <...>/libz.a".
