 the default.
 
+--disable-shared results in easier to debug executables (no shell
+wrapper scripts, all symbols available before the program runs).

 Backend libraries are dynamically scannned and loaded into syncevolution, the
 library path defaults to $prefix/syncevolution/backends. When developer-mode is
 enabled, it will scan libraries in current build directory instead.
