It actually means more work, I really wouldn't know how many bundled library packages will need to have their builds patched after 
searching for the lib to link to (must check ffmpeg) although it may just be me and openCOLLADA and all the libs with builds created 
upstream don't have a problem. No wonder Debian use a static openCOLLADA in their blender.
