Difference between "lite" versions and regulars ones

The libraries are split into halves that link libsaml, libxml-sec, and openssl and that don't. shibd is linked to the ones that do and mod_shib is linked to the ones that don't. That keeps thousands of library symbols and conflicts out of Apache.

It doesn't have any relevance to Moonshot except that I informally developed that library to theoretically support using shibd and offloading some of the work from the GSS mechanism code in the same way mod_shib does using socket calls and remoting. That has never been tested, however, and people react so inexplicably negatively to the horror of a separate shibd process that I never really talked about it to anybody when I did the Moonshot work.
