The only benerit we might gain from libgit.so in the current
shape, aside from making it easier to do .xs, is that multiple
git processes would share it in core, and the disk consumption
by 100+ little git commands are reduced -- which largely has
become non-issue with the recent spurt of making everything
built-ins.  But that "aside from" is in itself a big plus, so,
well, I am torn.
