Hi,

Why remove static libraries ?

Let's take the example of sysutils/mstflint-lite, as a -lite its purpose is
to avoid bringing the crazy heavy lib-boost library, so it is compiled
using static.
And texproc/expat is a lib dependency of this port too.
But since expat doesn't bring the static library, sysutils/mstflint-lite
couldn't not be builded anymore.

Olivier
