Yeah, something like that is really what you'd end up with.  People
aren't going to read the docs anyway, but if somebody sends me a patch
for the man page or guide wording, I'll be happy to apply it.  Not sure
I care enough about static linking to write it myself, as I think static
linking is an uninteresting corner case and people should just stop
doing it.
