[Sorry this is a followup to kipp's not kurt's posting] ... Does this mean pixie
will work with shared libraries?  This sort of seems unlikely since pixie is
pretty grungy, but I believe Jim Barton did mention that pixie was rewritten ...
Anyway if it doesn't I hope the unshared library will stay for
measurement/tuning purposes.
