Maybe AC_DISABLE_STATIC or AC_DISABLE_SHARED in configure.in, then.

I have made some experimentations. Few issues remain with midi.so
(libtool *requires* that shared libraries begin with the lib suffix,
so I could not use the "c" and "library" stepmake templates for
building midi.so), but besides that, I have several .so libraries, and
lilypond-bin linked against them. If you wish to look at them, patch
and explanations are attached.
