I had a look at our ZSH packaging and tried the --enable-dynamic. I see
no problem to provide a "with_dynamic" option which builds ZSH with DSO
based modules and a libzsh*.so. But one question remains to me: what is
the actual benefit? I mean, does ZSH then "lazy load" the extensions on
first use? Or can one write and link in this way an own ZSH extension
(and is this really done by someone)?
Some of the extensions are available only as loadable modules. This may be a bug, but it is what it is.
