Use libtool to build static archives when --with-static-prpls is passed to configure. Does anyone know why we weren't using libtool before? We were building old-fashioned .a files. But libtool archives (.la) can contain either static or shared libraries. I found it a lot easier to get static prpl compilation working after making this change (that is to say, it worked). Without this I got this error, which is probably fixable, but consistently using libtool seems like it makes things easier: *** Warning: Linking the shared library libpurple.la against the *** static library ../libpurple/protocols/msn/libmsn.a is not portable! /usr/bin/ld: ../libpurple/protocols/msn/libmsn.a(libmsn_a-msn.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ../libpurple/protocols/msn/libmsn.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

/*
   This example demonstrates how to use libpurple-client to communicate
   with purple.  The names and signatures of functions provided by
   libpurple-client are the same as those in purple.  However, all
   structures (such as PurpleAccount) are opaque, that is, you can only
   use pointer to them.  In fact, these pointers DO NOT actually point
   to anything, they are just integer identifiers of assigned to these
   structures by purple.  So NEVER try to dereference these pointers.
   Integer ids as disguised as pointers to provide type checking and
   prevent mistakes such as passing an id of PurpleAccount when an id of
   PurpleBuddy is expected.  According to glib manual, this technique is
   portable.
