Building a shared libpython
562+
---------------------------
563+
564+
Starting with Python 2.3, the majority of the interpreter can be built
565+
into a shared library, which can then be used by the interpreter
566+
executable, and by applications embedding Python. To enable this feature,
567+
configure with --enable-shared.
