[Bug 60698] kill pointless one-file library ...

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60698

--- Comment #11 from Michael Meeks <michael.meeks@collabora.com> ---
I imagine the idea is to save memory, but on any modern machine I suspect the
shlib overhead, and the linking cost of that makes that not worthwhile. Of
course - that is -assuming- that running 'ldd' on each of those shows that they
have the same shared library dependencies.

Clearly it needs a lot of testing - I -hope- we have at least one (trivial)
test image per file-format in git, and a unit test  for loading it - if not,
that is something we should add here before re-factoring that I think.

Anyhow - thanks for poking at this ! :-)
