I had issues trying to link to a not-yet-installed dynamic library. It
appears that (on Linux anyway), moving a shared library after you've linked
to it is bad karma. I think his solution of linking against a static library
for all postgis consumers and offering a shared library for outsiders is the
only workable solution I can see.

It may be best to record problems/progress on ticket #1133. While it
involves the creation of a library of "common postgresql-aware code", the
exact same issues are encountered in both cases.
