Do you want to statically compile nss-modules in libc? If you do that, 
you'll have to statically link a lot of stuff into libc (for example, 
if we have nss_ldap module - we must compile whole ldap implementation 
into libc). And if we do it that way, libc will grow and grow... 
Besides, if you want to change a module code, you'll have to recompile 
whole libc.
We are very interested to know your way of solving these problems...
