Because usually shared libraries are used by multiple
binaries/libraries, which does not appear to be the case with the
kdevelop libraries? Besides, the plain libraries are useless for
third party programs anyway, because no headers are installed, and I
guess they libraries haven't been binary compatible in the past. To
me those look like internal libraries that are shared libraries for
no reason (they look unshared to me, reduce startup time, make the
code bigger (code is compiled with -fPIC)) .
