What's this - I certainly didn't write it, despite the fact you've
attributed it to me.  As for saving me time...

Using a DLL would mean fixing the one DLL that had the problem (whatever it
was), replacing the old broken one, and instantly all applications linked
to use that DLL would now be "fixed".  Precisely the idea behind
shared object code...  With static libs, you have to fix each and every
executable in turn.
