About the patches in src:boinc

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Wonderful! thanks Guo for your nice cleanup!


In my opinion we should keep the delta from upstream as minimal as possible, and when your cleanup will be finisched I'll try to make a good patch for having a dynamic linkage, and try to push it upstream

something like "--enable-dynamic-libraries" that will remove for us also the dynamic link patches.

Upstream doesn't want to link it dinamically, but a switch should be good for everybody.

thoughts?
