Linking against indirect dependencies

[Szombathelyi György]

Hello!

I've just curious if is it possible _not_ to link a program/lib against 
its indirect dependencies. I mean if libC is linked against libB and 
libB is against libA then libtool will link libC against libA, which is 
not neccessary in most situations (at least not on Linux, but I guess 
not in most ELF platforms). What I've discovered is that libtool always 
links against all the depencency_libs in the .la file. Here's a thread 
about this issue in KDE:
