BUG: -Wl,--as-needed is added after libraries

[Resul Cetin]

I tried to add --Wl,--as-needed to the library flags, but it seems that 
libtool adds this option after the -l arguments and makes it useless (it must 
stand before the libs and not after them).

Is there a workaround or can it be fixed in libtools? I saw different patches 
which does that, but maybe there is a more elegant way to do it.

The actual problem is that `pkg-config --libs gtk+-x11-2.0` isn't really fine 
grained and adds a lot of extra dependencies I don't use. --as-needed would be 
a nice way to fix it for me.
