1. Libtool takes _all_ modules from libauth.la, and puts them into libauthuserdb.la. I only want the modules that libauthuserdb.la actually needs.
A "convenience library", as a libtool library that is not installed is called, is linked into each object that uses it. If the object is a library, it is copied completely, otherwise, it is linked statically. This feature is intended for huge libraries that are built from multiple subdirectories, where each subdir builds a convenience lib and everything is linked in the end.
Using recent Automake, I find that I am able to eliminate use of convenience libraries by using a non-recursive build and referring to sources in subdirectories. A simple Automake macro refers to all the objects which would be equivalent to a convenience "library". Works great and avoids the overhead imposed by libtool since libtool must extract all the objects from the archive file prior to using them.
