Create a shared library to optimize space

[Didier Raboud]

Hi,

as far as I understand the Cmake buildsystem, there is shared code between lightspark and mozilla-plugin-lightspark. This code could be put in a liblightspark package, then dynamically linked by both lightspark and mozilla-plugin-lightspark. This would reduce the sizes of both binary packages.

Cheers,

PIC code has a performance penalty on x86 (not on amd64). The plugin is of course already PIC, but the standalone version will be probably slower if linked dynamically. I've not yet decided if the space trade off is worth the performance penalty.

Great thanks !
