Subject: why is blktap statically linking it's drivers?

It took me a bit to realize that the issue I was having with blktap
compiling in xen-unstable is that it is statically linking libcrypto and
libc into all of the executables in: xen-unstable/tools/blktap/drivers

Is there a reason for this?  It means that every one of those executables
ends up at > 1 MB, which seems quite excessive.  It also means that you need
static-devel packages on some distros, which tend to not be installed by
default.
