Make slang.a into a shared library, because it's also used by his 
spreadsheet program, his news reader, and I think one other program.  
This is how I've got it installed at home.

I've also been looking into doing comprehensive joe-mode bindings, for 
those of us who have those commands burned into our fingers (not quite 
wordstar bindings, but most claimed wordstar bindings get a few wrong, 
like using ^K^M for move (wordstar had that bound to something else so 
used ^K^V).  Anyway, my rambling alarm just went off, so I'll leave it 
at that.
