Peter,

That's a possibility.  However there's a performance hit I'd like to 
avoid.  That opens the possible solutions to:

1 - use static linking during "make rpm".  Question: how to do this without 
Makefile changes which would cause bogofilter to always be static linking.

2 - can "ld" be told to link with a particular dynamic library (.so)?

Answers & hints are requested...
