Well, yes, except I suppose I sort of thought it was going to be
linked statically or something -- how do you rely on your users

suppose this is really a question prompted by TheirDB's decision to
understand "derivative program" in a mighty extended way. I seem to
be echoing Emily a lot these days. "Never mind."
