Soren, Somtimes, size does matter... I was working on an article that shows how to perform conceptual analysis from textual input (that uses v8). In order to post an article with a reasonable download size, I could not integrate a 100 MB download into it. I fixed the issue by compiling the shared library and taking the lib that resulted from that compile instead.
BTW, the article in question is here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/DigitalConceptBuilder.aspx. It does some pretty neat stuff with v8 and defines some nice artificial intelligence tricks to deal with language to produce and manipulate concepts. Thank you.
