I was thinking about how to do this properly when you showed me how you
did it with ivykis: once libmongo-client is ready to be a shared library
(which will take a little while, as libmongo-client isn't my priority
anymore), I'll go down this route, indeed.

Until then, I think it's safer to keep it the way it is.
