Hi all,

Thanks for working on this Bret!

For what it's worth, I am planning on reverting Godot back to its
embedded recastnavigation copy because this upstream recommends using it
this way [0] (which is supported by Debian policy [1]) and they
basically told me in the linked upstream bug report that they don't make
any ABI promises.

Personally, it doesn't seem worth it to fight upstream by providing a
shared library for recast in Debian? On the other hand, they don't seem
to release that often, so maybe it isn't that much of a pain.

Cheers,
Travis
