But if a fix is applied to unbound-libs, the unbound daemon will still
be using an old copy. Also, the results of unbound vs unbound-host could
then be different.

As a rule, it is always bad to have duplicatated staticly linked code
from a dynamic library into any executable - it becomes unmanagable.

To avoid this, I will make unbound depend on unbound-libs of the identical
version so that we keep the daemon and libraries in sync with each other.

Can you explain those to me?
