It is compiled to save time. It isn't a shared library because it is a mainline (contains main() function).

There is a bug in the package, the object file doesn't go where it 'normally' does.. which lead to the question where should a mainline object (.o) file be put.. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sourceforge dot net>
