On second thought, I think this is not a good idea right now because
Modules/Setup is not usually fiddled by the configure step. If "#*shared*"
existed in Modules/Setup and the user executed "./configure --with-shared",
they'd be disappointed that the modules declared in Modules/Setup following
that line weren't built as shared objects.
