Dynamically, like a normal library, but just libxffm_icons.
Libxffm_prop, libxffm_find, libxffm_applications and libxffm_combo will
still be loaded as g_modules (unless --enable-debug=yes at configure
time).

Actually both "libxffm_actions.so" and "libxffm_actions.so.2" are just
symlinks to the real library "libxffm_actions.so.2.0.0". There probably
is a good reason for this, but I have no idea what it is.

AFAIK, I never send html mail. If you received html mail, maybe
evolution-2.0.4 is buggy because the configuration is set not to.
