Original author: Jim Nelson
Original description:

One crowdfunding contributor has suggested we offer statically linked binaries
of Geary for users to download. They would offer the whole shebang --
including WebKit -- as one big executable. Some libraries we may decide to
link dynamically, such as GTK.

The motivation is that a sizable number of users have to wait for their
distros to package Geary, or may be running older versions of libraries and be
reluctant to upgrade en masse to try out Geary.

This is also necessary if we want to have a Windows build and an OS X app
bundle.

I'm the crowdfunder who suggested this -- my latest version of Firefox ships
with about 35mb of .so files for x64.

I'd love to see this happen with Geary. I'll be tracking this feature.
