Any way to avoid ldconfig call (and large help message) for plugin libraries?

[Kevin P. Fleming]

I've got an application that I've just converted to use the whole 
autotools suite... so far things are going quite well. One problem is 
that the application contains about 30 plugin modules, and even though 
I am creating them using -module and -avoid-version, libtool is still 
calling ldconfig for each and every one, and printing the 
nearly-full-screen message about "libraries have just been installed 
on your system".

Since these are plugins and not true "shared libraries", is there any 
way I can avoid these extra steps (which take time and confuse the end 
user)? I'd rather not have to edit ltmain.sh to accomplish this, but 
will do so if that's the only way around it.
