This is cool. I knew this was possible under Linux, but
I thought that the broken implementation of dll's under
windows disallowed it.
The advantage of this idea would then be:
You could build *oct files on a development system,
and then distribute them to people having a static
octave build.
I am in favour of this idea. Static octave builds
are very easy to package and distribute for batch
processing tasks.
My only question is: does this process work with the
exact same *oct files as for --enable-shared?
