libILEngine.a already provides the bulk of the engine in a linkable
form.  It would certainly be possible to move "main" into the library
as "ILMain" or somesuch, but usually it is better for the embedding
application to control things a little better.

Right now, the build tree doesn't make shared objects for the
libraries.  A little bit of autoconf/automake magic is all that
should be required if some enterprising soul wants to play
with that.
