Yes, that works! I can now pull monotone using netsync (and CVS import
is now "working" for me).

Alas, this fix does not work, as it seems I do not have a static
version of libdl.

That is annoying; it would have been good to be able to give my
co-authors statically linked monotone binaries; they all have access
to various distributions of Linux on i386, but are unlikely to be able
to get their sys admins to spend time building/installing it for them.


[For similar reasons, it would be nice if some form of SMTP/email
 support could continue in future versions, as many of us are stuck
 behind firewalls with BOFH policies on allowing users to run services
 such as netsync.]
