: anything UNIX related has .so's

  But there are several computers out there which use unix. An .so file for
one system can't be used in another. There should be pre-compiled dynamic
libraries for Windows, PC Linux, Sparc Linux, Alpha Linux, Mac Linux, FreeBSD,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS (many different versions), Sparc Solaris, PC Solaris,
Digital Unix, OS/2... The list is endless.

  And what's the point anyways? I really don't see such a big advantage of
this. It just introduces really big maintenance and incompatibility problems.
