FYI: Drag 'n drop installation works on Mac OS X without complete
static linking because applications are really "bundles" or
directories made to look like files. So you can dynamic link to
libraries you put inside the bundle which provides the benefits of
brain-dead installation and the benefits of dynamic linking
(including satisfying the LGPL license).
I haven't done a lot of Windows programming, so I don't know how a
lot of the stuff like this works on that platform, but perhaps a
similar method could be adopted to handle dynamic libraries? It sure
has been nice programming, and the users love it. Or perhaps this is
something Microsoft would have to implement?
Anyway... cheers!
