ranlib'ing static libraries?

[Assar Westerlund]

It seems to me that -current libtool has lost the ability to run
ranlib when creating static libraries.  I added back the lines from a
previous versions, see patch at end.  Is there any reason for not
calling ranlib?  Not using ranlib does make static libraries not work
on some platforms, for example OpenBSD/i386.  Any comments?

Thanks, I'm checking this in.  Sorry about the delay.
