This is tricky.. the only half clean way i can think of is to use a non 
standard library path:

/usr/lib/dlmcontrol/

without adding it to the standard LD_PATH.

all the cluster bits can just keep linking statically. "Advanced users" 
like ocfs2 can either add that to the LD_PATH and link dynamically or 
build statically (whatever they prefer).

Clearly the include file will also have to go outside standard paths..

It's not clean.. i am not very happy to go this route, but i think it's 
the only one to protect the library as "private".

I welcome better suggestions tho...

PS shipping only static library is not an option.
