Well, I'm perhaps overexaggerating here.
For libc, zlib and libbz2 I do see uses cases, and I'm fairly sure that
there are some other packages that link statically. At least for these
libraries, I can see why users really expect to have the static
libraries around.
does this apply as well to alut, openal and alure as well? If yes, then
shipping alure.a is no problem. if not, I'd recommend to spare the
headaches here.
