....ehm here is the home of SuiteSparse
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/

and as far as I know  all its components  are built using the UFconfig utility 
AND static libs are  the default.  
If anyone on list knows  how to  to hack UFconfig or use say cmake to generate 
shared libs  for the SuiteSparse components
please let me know.
