Hi Yutaka,

The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu glrr package, to null
out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being shipped in the
-dev package.  This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing
consumers of your library to require other .la files listed here to be
available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the
dynamic linking common case).  It's specifically a good idea right now
because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced here
are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using libtool
to build against glrr.  As long as glrr is going to need a rebuild to fix up
the invalid .la references, it would be nice to get rid of them altogether.

Thanks,
