Initial Comment:
Hi,

This problem cost me very much time to solve:

After I build Python, all dynamic libraries got dynamically
linked into the Python interpreter (libraries like
zlib and tcl/tk stuff).

I coudn't find out why this is, I only want to load zlib.so
when I do a "import zlib" and not when I start Python.

And this is (I think) the difference between statically and
dynamically build Python libraries, but this isn't explaind
in a clear way.

You can configure the dynamic/static module beheviour in
the Modules/Setup file (afher you did a configure) with
the *shared* flag. 

The dinamic/static module behaviour should at least very
clear described in that file, this is not the case at
this moment.

Best regards,

Jan
