I think that the point is that binary distributions should always
include the libraries regardless of whether they are shared or static. 
IIRC, we currently only include the libraries if they are shared
libraries.

>From a packaging (RPM etc) perspective, static libraries would
normally go into a separate -devel package, along with the headers,
while shared libraries would go into the main package.
