Looking at the AdaCore documentation, it's far from clear what the use
case for 'encapsulated' is.

You said above that you were having trouble with a shared library
'monitor', I don't understand why you don't build the whole project with
static libraries?

(BTW, could you look at how you're posting? I see 64 lines quoting your
original post - not even the one you're replying to - before I get to
the new material)
