Andrey,

the documentation of your very useful logging library says: "If your  
application consists of more than one module (e.g. an exe and one or  
several dll's) the library must be built as a shared object."

As it turns out I want to use your library in such an application. However  
there is only one module writing to the log file. Do I still need to use  
the shared library? Or can I link statically if for example I don't use  
certain parts of the library? As far as I see there is no more information  
in the documentation why linking dynamically is forbidden?
