Static libraries solve the "unprivileged user" problem only in a limited
set of cases.

As soon as any of the libraries needs additional files (e.g. glade UI
files in /usr/share/mylibrary/*), static linking doesn't help.

The only general solution for these cases is to recompile the software
with --prefix inside the user's home directory.
