This is going to make life difficult for those pmdas which are not
built as part of the OSS pcp build or pmdas which are already in the
field and which used libpcp_pmda.so and cannot/would not be rebuild
for whatever reason.

Besides, what's wrong with having a shared library anyway? It saves
the memory - only one copy of text is ever need to be loaded and
allows for bug fixes which do not require rebuilds.
