sparse 0.2 is out now, and includes header files and a static libsparse.a, but doesn't include a libsparse.so. Jeff Garzik in particular requested the static lib and headers for a project he's working on.
Can you patch sparse so that it builds a shared lib? This would be the ideal scenario.
Could, yes. This thread (ending here): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-sparse&m=116330177006275&w=2
notes that sparse as a library isn't really stable at this point, and upstream isn't terribly interested in doing soname bumps all the time, starting compat packages, etc.
