Reasons to require platforms to link against libmirplatform

[Daniel van Vugt]

As discussed yesterday, I think long term we need to get away from 
requiring drivers to link to anything at all. Because some 
vendors/lawyers require that, and specifically require that they not be 
asked to link to LGPL code. Aiming for this higher goal will also force 
us to think more deeply and build a better system...
