 4.1. Static vs. dynamic linking of liblzma
 
-    The default is to link the command line tools against static liblzma.
+    The default is to link the most important command line tools against

     This can be changed by passing --enable-dynamic to configure, or by
-    not building static libraries at all by passing --disable-static to
