  In general it's better to reuse shared lib as much as possible,
one of the reasons is memory footprint, but handling security updates
is also a major one. You can't believe how much code has a copy of
the zlib library and the horrible mess this generated. I think from
a distribution point of view, the goal is really to make sure
the code (and data) are shared for common libraries.
