The current snapshot system contains a patched version (after the fix is 
applied) within 2 hours at most for source distributions and 4 hours for 
win32 distributions.

I beg to differ, there are plenty of people (not to say that there couldn't be 
more ;) ) who handle bugs etc... you need to look no further then the NEWS 
file.

I may have misunderstood you, so please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems 
are you advocating a system where by modules are compiled as shared. This 
approach would open a whole can of worms with users using conflicting module 
versions, trying to load same modules more then once and so on. Not only will 
this be a headache for the users, but also for the QA/developers who wish to 
solve user reported problems. Without a way to determine the exact version of 
the module it'd be nearly impossible to determine what code is the user 
actually using.
