Well, I think JIT-compiled code is easier to compile than C#, for 
example. But yeah, the actual executable bytes would be different for 
each process running, or at least each program, if that's what you're 
trying to avoid.

I suppose you could also have two copies of the code in each library, 
one with and one without. Doubles the size somewhat of any routine that 
is affected by that. Select the right set of routines when you start up 
the program, or when you link the child class, or some such? I'm not 
sure when you'd pick in this case.
