You're right that the FAQ is unclear about static vs. dynamic.
Static, you're definitely hosed, no convenience libraries.  Dynamic,
not sure.  You can certainly include static libraries into dynamic
libraries on Windows.  Not sure you can include dynamic libraries into
dynamic libraries.  The issue really hasn't come up for me, and I'm
still tired.  :-)  I'm going to let others field this one, or you
could search the mailing list archives.
