Cannot avoid libtool producing static library and la file for a plugin

[Stefan Kost]

hi,

I am using this in my Makefile.am for plugins

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libabc.la
libabc_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version

This correctly avoid creating version link. Now I've also tried to add "-shared" 
to libabc_la_LDFLAGS, because for the plugin I don't need .a files. It does not 
make sense to link against them. For the same reason installing the .la file is 
not useful.

I can use AC_DISABLE_STATIC in configure.ac to disable making static libs. But 
that wpould be project wide.

I am using this version of libtool:
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.26 (1.1220.2.492 2008/01/30 06:40:56)


I googled, read the docs [1] several time, but I can't figure it out. According 
to [2] -shared should be what I want. Bug or mistake on my side?
