Has anyone tried making a shared library pvm? The last time I tried
it, it bombed out on me... It'd be nice and handy when running more
than one pvm process (like pvmd and one of your programs) to share the
memory that they occupy. Currently, linking in pvm adds about 200K of
library to each executable. It'd also have the nice bonus that future
versions of pvm wouldn't require recompilation to use the latest
stuff.

p.s. I use IRIX (sgi's), but this applys to any arch that allows
shared libraries (or shared objects [hpux]).
