A slightly dumbed down explanation:  basically all that is stored in  
a single shared object located in "libs", called  
PACKAGENAME.SOMETHING, where SOMETHING is dependent on your OS. On  
Linux/Mac it is "so". If you have several source files, you still  
only get a single shared object file which contains everything from  
the different source files.
