I much prefer email communication to bugzilla (perhaps not a surprise),
so replying here. I hope that's OK; if we reach any conclusions, I'll
summarize in the bug log.

Okay, I will do that.

In principle, it can. It's just that the scaffolding setup is so
laborious (and unnecessarily so, IMO) that by the time I got it to link
statically I had enough. I plan to start a thread about all that soon.

Hmm ... see above, but I'll look into that.

Is there a document about the preferred project style? Or better, a
tool implementing it, such as a bunch of clang-format settings?

Yes, debian and devuan, at least. These are the two platforms I use for
my server type hosts.

Yeah, I use f28 on the desktop, too. I got the libs from github but
have not tried to build them there, yet.
