And, don't forget that if you don't want to actually package it up as a shared library, you can always just link it (or the parts you need) directly into your application. I have done that several times for applications which assume a later version of libraries than the one available on Maemo: I take the source code of the extra functions I need and incorporate them into the code of the application being ported. Of course, this doesn't work if the new code needs access to internal interfaces of the library, but I haven't come across that case yet! And, of course, you have to check the licence allows you to do that.
