As a general rule, I like to make shared libraries of _anything_ which 
will be used by two or more programs.  Therefore, I have libjpeg, 
libtiff, libpng, and libz all built as shared libraries for use by XV, 
Ghostscript, etc...  Since libpico is used by pico as well as pine, both 
programs that I use, I think it makes sense to build a shared library.  
Comments?
