The easiest way to compile any program with the shared libraries
is to use shcc. This is a replacement for the cc command, and automatically
links in the shared libraries.

I have been using it as cc and forget the problems of the shared libraries.
Being a neighbor of trux, I will mail it to you.

Once you have it, just compile bnews normally, an you will end up with a much
smaller executable.
Forget trying to change the configuration files, it's a pain and is not
necesssary.

Using shcc can be a problem when trying to create Makefiles for the public.
I have to remember to link in the shared libraries by hand:-(.
Everybody should get shcc.
