Abstract
A method of packaging a dynamically linked computer program function comprising: establishing an attribute, each attribute exhibiting a plurality of at least one of variations, characteristics and parameters associated with the dynamically linked computer program function; obtaining a source file associated with the dynamically linked computer program function; and compiling and linking the source file iteratively to create a single executable file based on the at least one of variations, characteristics, and parameters for each attribute. The single executable file is configured to facilitate choice of a selected version of the function based on a particular at least one of variations, characteristics, and parameters for each attribute.
