Should libhogweed have a dependency on libnettle if I'm compiling each as shared libraries? Or should I be linking against nettle's static library and thus have duplicate functions in each?
I'd recommend explicit dependencies. Duplicate definitions seem potentially problematic.
Debian does explicit dependencies, fwiw:
