Building a shared library with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:Bool=True
would be preferable to the current static library.

Note that there is no proper soname for the shared library,
a soname would have to be created and maintained in Debian
(but simint upstream looks rather dormant).

Hi,

Well that's the reason I often don't bother with shared libraries for
scientific software - it is too difficult to make upstream care enough
and/or educate them to get this right, and I don't feel like it is
Debian's job to maintain library versioning when upstream is not on
board at all.

If siminit proves to be popular enough that it grows a moderate list of
reverse dependencies I might reconsider, but right now the main reason I
packaged is it the fact it is a requirement for newer versions of psi4.
