(non-PSC of course) I don't care which way this goes.

If it's used semantically like a library -- which it really seems to be
-- you should allow dynamic linking within the build.  You are kludging
around lack of a design for managing multiple versions, and adding more
maintenance headaches.  So -1 from me, which I realize doesn't really
count.

Or perhaps for 3.0 drop it and use rtopo.  Which will then be external
and dynamic.
