Sorcery option ?  There is a sorcery option? :)

The only way that I've done it is by adding stuff to the "configure 
options" (ie, --static, or --enable-static, or whatever the particular 
spell uses).

Since static things require other static things, it really makes 
depedancy stuff quite ugly, since you have to figure it out yourself.

Ideally, I would really like a "static" flag, that can be used within 
depends, so that you can build a particular spell as static, and it will 
build all the "dependancies above it" as static as well.

Each spell would have to be modified that allows a static build, and 
slowly change all the spells to be able to build in a static (and 
shared) way.

Anyway, hope what I am saying is clear to some degree, or at least opaque.
