    Hello,

    I was looking in my /usr/lib directory and I noticed that there were
    library files for a lot of normal programs, like kate.so, kcalc.so,
    libgimp, etc. What is the purpose of this? If that code is only for
    those programs, why not keep it in the program's executable and put it
    all in one package?
