+Subject: [PATCH] Meson: Un-hardcode building a shared library
+
+Use library() instead of shared_library() to allow specifying which kind
+of library to build with "meson setup --default-library ..."
+
+This allows more easily incorporating libmanette in an application e.g.
+as a Meson subproject which gets built into a program as a static
+library.
