Ok, thanks Kai

That answers the part about shipping (static or dynamic). So the only option 
is dynamic loading (ugh) or skipping support entirely (also ugh).

"people have heard my complaints about the fact that the Linux desktop is this 
morass of infighting and people who do bad things"
"I do hope that the desktop people would just try to work together and work 
more on the technology"
Linus started complaining about the problems on the userspace *because* of 
udev. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/2/303.
