On Windows, where people don't build themselves we tend to make
everything .dlls. On Linux/Unix we suggest to build the set of
extensions you need/want.

And as said: It should work to make all of it shared. The issue there is
that we can't enforce loading order (=dependencies) but the user has to
load them in the correct order. (loading a PDO driver first will result
in complains by the runtime linker about missing C symbols, we can't
really do anything about it)
