statics in shared libraries have always been like a red flag for us. i
don't know whether the reasons (some proprietary unix dynloader) are
still applicable.
qt has Q_CONSTRUCTOR_FUNCTION in qglobal.h nowadays. its implementation
seems more complicated than necessary to me (why the integer return
value?), so i wonder whether that's a workaround for something or just
random baroqueness.
