Hi,
I've reversed my initial patch enabling phar as shared by default, and
instead now enable it statically by default.
I was able to solve the dependency on zlib/bz2 I noted in my last
message through some very simple logic, and testing confirms that phar
can be built statically with zlib/bz2 shared with absolutely no problems
whatsoever because phar never uses these extensions directly, only
through the stream filter API.
So, in short, problem solved, and phar can be built statically and works
just great with static zlib/bz2 or shared zlib/bz2.
