well in some sort this answer is a bit earlier released than I wanted - but I guess this should help you out. We did a lot of work to identify the static parts in the nx-libs and made effort to get them generalized for many distributions.

for all patches.

I guess the patches (especially unique-libnames.diff) should give you a brief idea of how much work this was ... ;) - For details of the announcement please give us just a few last days. I guess this is going to be great news for X2Go.
