i doubted that and just tried.

built subsurface on Debian 6.0.4 and tried running the binary on Ubuntu 10.04
it failed loading at a least couple .so targets  - libzip.so.x and libssl.so.x.
this is expected as we are building for dynamic linking against ever
changing packages, so the same binary is not expected to run on
multiple distributions or released within them.

pkg-config and the installed libraries dictate the linkage
dependencies from the build environment.
