Bug#608709: Please enable shared libraries

[David Banks <amoebae@gmail.com>]

Hi Alessandro,

I have been working on packaging this myself, but I have not made
significant progress (hence the lack of an ITP).  I'll gladly leave
the packaging work to you, I can provide you with the very little I do
have if you want.  Just a request for the package, though: there is
now experimental support for shared libraries in the newer beta
versions of Discount that you can enable by the --shared option to
'configure.sh'.  Please could you configure discount with this flag,
and install the library, when you package it?  I think it would make
the package much more useful.  Hopefully the support will be in a
non-beta version by the time the package comes out.

Feel free to mail me if you have any questions.

Cheers,
