[pypy-dev] static binaries please ...

I have just spent an hour compiling various libraries to get the pypy
binaries to work (64bit, RHEL3). Probable because the distribution is old (I
don't administer it) the shared libraries that pypy requires were not
available. Compiling them by hand is a hassle (have to find options to enable
shared objects etc.).

Please distribute only _static_ binaries, the gains of shared libriares are
completely insignificant compared to the hassle of when it doesn't work.

Thanks ...
