Comment (by dave):

 Replying to [comment:15 grafik]:

 Or rather the docs match autolink. Which is why I asked about the risk of
 changing the autolink code at this point. I think it's a high risk to do
 so now. And it's why I'm suggesting building both link=static and
 link=shared as the "quick fix".

 Sounds reasonable.
