ebuild.patch

I propose the following diff to the ebuild for primegen. It adds a sharedlib use flag that additionally builds a shared library. Since djb already writes about not having an so, i doubt it's worth asking upstream. He surely considered and decided against the option.

It would nevertheless be really handy to have a shared lib and creating it is easy. My motivation for this change was the plan to write a python wrapper for which a shared object library is mandatory.

Hope my ebuild isn't too bad, i've never done that before.
