I have been working on changes of the compilation procedure for a while, 
which is now used in other COIN projects (those other projects have 
already swtiched, just Ipopt is now lagging behind...)

I will try to release the new version today or at least later this week. 
This new version will automatically compile shared libraries, so I guess 
this will answer your question.

This is also on our urgent ToDo list.  The new project should be released 
in the next few days as well.
