Hi it does not seem to be needed.

I have made progress on the firewire stuff, but I am going to take the
time to be able to link in my plugins statically, it is driving me
crazy that I cannot debug properly and the dependancies are not
working.

Also the packaging is nonstandard autotools.

I am considering just making my own makefiles for a monolithic system.
