I think this is highly dependant on how well the library interface is
defined and what dependencies it has. If you have a nugget of code that
hasn't changed since Samba 2.2 and depends on nothing except posix then
splitting that out as a shared lib is an obvious plus.

I'm a HUGE fan of librarifying stuff into well defined / small interfaces.
Even if I think it's only a little one-time utility.
