[Devel] static compilation ... openser1.2

[Cesc]

Hi Daniel,

Well, I took a second look at it and I think it is a one time effort,
which once solved and if future development sticks to the rules, shall
not be too complicated. It could definitely be made easier, but
costing development time ... to bring it up to speed now is a question
of routine work, which by the way i am halfway.

The issues are:
- collision of global variables defined in modules: solvable
- missing libraries when linking: solvable
- on register_built_in_modules: massive repetitive code ... boring, but doable

Unless we redesign completely, I think I can bring all modules up to a
statically compilable state in 1.2 and port it to trunk.
Take a look yourself, the key is in sr_module.c/h
