it's too hard to build a static wheel

[glyph]

This is halfway a question rather than a bug report, but it came up on pyca/cryptography#2138 that one potential solution was to build a wheel with openssl statically included, and I don't believe anyone involved in the discussion could figure out how you actually do that. I have no idea myself. It should be straightforward to bundle in all the native libraries required for a wheel to run, because this is often a really really helpful thing for deployment.

There's delocate: https://github.com/matthew-brett/delocate

That is a pretty cool tool; thanks for the reference. (Although I think I am actually talking about static linking, it looks like delocate just grabs dynamic libs?)

I think this is connected to the discussion happening now in #25.
