Hi, I've reversed my initial patch enabling phar as shared by default, and instead now enable it statically by default.
I was able to solve the dependency on zlib/bz2 I noted in my last message through some very simple logic, and testing confirms that phar can be built statically with zlib/bz2 shared with absolutely no problems whatsoever because phar never uses these extensions directly, only through the stream filter API. So, in short, problem solved, and phar can be built statically and works just great with static zlib/bz2 or shared zlib/bz2.
