Hi Paolo,
Maintenance and, secondarily, RAM cost.
RAM cost? Do you think linking with a shared library with 100 modules costs
less RAM than having 5 of these modules linked in the executable? Also, do
you frequently run 'm4' at the same time as you view PDF files or run
'msgfmt'? I think, in the current situation, linking with a non-shared library
is still perfectly fine.
I may even agree with you, but it's still a common objection that
"gnulib does things differently, why should it?".
(BTW, I wasn't aware of the licensing of libnih).
