Is there any fundamental problem in just shoving all the objects in

 Not perhaps, certainly :).

AFAIK this module caused huge problems when gbuild-ifying on Windows
(specifically because of the weird DLLPUBLIC things going on there), so
in any case please test if it works on Windows before pushing such a
change.

My guess is that the framework code might originally have gone into
just one shared library, anybody know the reason why it was split up
into five separate ones?

hmm... no idea, perhaps mba remembers the rationale?

oh, one thing: probably some libs are required at startup and others
not; so merging all in one brings a startup performance penalty (but
even then 2 libs should be enough?)

 I don't think there would be a noticeable penalty if the libraries were 
merged into one. They all link the same libraries according to ldd (except 
for some intra-dependencies), and they all together are less than 5M, so 
probably reading it all in one go may be in fact more efficient. But I cannot 
find something that would actually link libfwk [*], which is 3M, so at least 
merging the other 4 definitely makes sense even from performance point of 
view.

 I can't comment on other reasons why this might have been split though.

[*] Seriously, I can't find a thing. Is there actually something using the 
library?
