NO_SHARED=no has been a long-running joke around the office.  However,
going to a simple SHARED=?yes/no won't work either.  It is
inconsistant with the new world order.  I'd expecte that
MK_SHARED=yes/no would be the right thing to do, but there may be
parse time issues that makes it hard to do this simple fix..
