I thought the reason everybody on win32 built static was that there
was no choice.  Is it really preferable?

I'm sympathetic to folks who want static builds for various reasons.
I wouldn't mind an option to allow libgcj to be built in some reduced
form, either; though it would be up to the folks using this mode to
maintain it.
