	Hmm...if you're talking about modifying gcc/g++ default setting 
to dynamic, I disagree.

	People cross-compiling won't appreciate having to generate 
mingw or msvc based .dlls before they can generate say an .so or 
something similar for their Unix g++ cross-compile.

	Just my humble opinion...

	Peace,
