As far as I can tell, yes. It would mean that if you always use "PyQt4.Qt"
instead of naming the single modules, your code will be compatible in both
the normal (shared) mode and the static mode.

There are many combinations of course, but I believe we could make a
pre-built package for the QtCore+QtGui combo, and one with all the modules
compiled in. My opinion is that it would be convenient for the static mode
to make it into the official configure.py, and also be the default mode for
the official binary Qt4-PyQt4-Win-GPL package. It would mean a smaller
download for the developer, and smaller executables for those building
stand-alone apps.
