+Provisional: Initialize GMX_INSTALL_NBLIB_API and GMXAPI build options from BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+CMake options ``GMXAPI`` and ``GMX_INSTALL_NBLIB_API`` produce shared object libraries,
+so their default values are now initialized from ``BUILD_SHARED_LIBS``.
+Pending movement on :issue:`3605` and related issues, the coupling between these
+options is subject to change, but users generally should not need to manually set
+``GMXAPI`` and ``GMX_INSTALL_NBLIB_API``.
