I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination on shared objects,
but IIRC the way Go's shared objects were implemented there's not
really any compatibility promises, and Go updates and library updates
still require rebuilding linked components -- is that the case, or
have I grossly misunderstood?  (ie, what's the benefit we gain by
doing this?  less rebuilds?  less bits for users to download?)
