Not every egg supports linking to the .o file.  For those eggs that
don't, you'll need to add the support yourself.  If you do, I'm sure
a patch will be accepted making each egg you work with able to
statically link.

Adding support is easy but not automatic.  Usually it will be a few
extra lines added to the .setup file for each egg.
