-INN has optional support for libtool to generate shared versions of INN's
-libraries. This can significantly decrease the size of the various
-binaries that come with a complete INN installation. You can also choose
-to use libtool even when only building static libraries; a libtool build
-may be somewhat more portable on weird systems. libtool builds aren't the
-default because they take somewhat longer. See C<./configure --help> for
-the various available options related to libtool builds.
-
-Please note that INN's shared library interface is not stable and may
-change drastically in future releases. For this reason, it's also not
-properly versioned and won't be until some degree of stability is
-guaranteed, and the relevant header files are not installed. Only INN
-should use INN's shared libraries, and you should only use the shared
-libraries corresponding to the version of INN that you're installing.
-
-Also, when updating an existing version of INN, INN tries to save backup
-copies of all files but man pages so that you can revert to the previous installed
-version. Unfortunately, when using shared libraries, this confuses
-B<ldconfig> on some systems (such as Linux) and the symbolic links for the
-libraries may point to the C<.OLD> versions. If this happens, you can either
-fix the links by hand or remove the C<.OLD> versions and re-run B<ldconfig>.
