Building your own SMALL shared libs is easy. Building larger ones,
especially C++ ones, is still a challange. However, it is doable.

Yes. Play with these. Also, if you don't understand something, send
mail to the folks listed in the docs. They were quite helpful to me.
And build SMALL things first, then expand. My biggest mistake in
building libOI.s* was trying to build it shared before I understood
what the procedure and terminology. It is hard to learn something
when it takes four hours to build it and tiny mistakes can be
costly... Also, you will always want build DLL libraries (as opposed
to the other kind that is talked about in the manual).
