Indeed, there might not be a very strong use case for p11-kit with 
static linking. It's always welcome though when software orginally 
configured for shared linking "just works" with minimal fuss when built 
with static linking. Maybe one day a mingw-cross-env user will come 
complaining about this.

I imagine it would take more work than just solving the initialization 
problem discussed in this thread, such as allowing the modules 
themselves to be statically linked.

Anyway, thanks for your help. It's fine with me to give this issue some 
rest now.
