You don't have to, just add "%with_shared yes" to your ~/.rpmmacros file
and you'll be done. And with "openpkg-tool"'s build command you also
have to specificy it just once: for building of all packages and then
it's sticky. I think it has to be an "%option" and not something else
special, because currently all those things are "%option"s in OpenPKG...

Yes, exactly: the with_shared=yes certainly cannot be a portable
solution in general, but for all important platforms which OpenPKG
officially supports, it can be provided in a portable enough way.
