That's not very hard to do, i'd be happy to help.  It would make installation a bit 
less intimidating (every requirement is a barrier), and reduce the run size as well.

You mean link the c++ libraries statically?  That sounds like a decent tradeoff, 
10-20K bigger, less external dependencies.


One reason to reduce dependencies, is it eases debugging.  On my small system trplayer 
gets a "Segmentation Fault" on exit (even when just doing "trplayer -h".  
Unfortunately I can't run gdb there to find out why :-(.
