shared libraries

[Dave Martindale]

Now wait a minute, Patrick.  Hacks tend to write code which, at some level,
they feel proud of.  It may be elegant, or it may run faster than anything
anyone else can write, or just make use of an instruction that no one else
could find a use for, but there's something special about it.
Uucp doesn't fit this description.  I would guess that at least some of
the code was written by a novice, not a hack.
