I'm a bit concerned about that. Splitting evolution package to separate
shared libs from binaries might be doable, but that means again adding
complexity to an already quite complex packaging (I'm quite sure
everything will require strict versioned dependencies). Which .so are
exactly needed by anjal to run? (I'm a bit surprise it even uses codes
from the client, I thought it only used stuff from eds).
