Sometimes, a large number of small programs need to use a single very large
library. In these cases, if the library must be statically linked (as is
currently the case in Caml), the programs that use it all become very large as
well. It would therefore be useful if Caml could create and use shared
libraries. Some work has been done on this, but it is incomplete and not
necessarily portable:
