Installing .la files for textproc/redland...

[Chuck Swiger]

Hi, all--

A port which depends on textproc/redland would like to use .la files.
How can I convince the port make stuff to not ignore .la files?

I looked through /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk, and found this:

# LIBTOOLFLAGS=<value>
#       - Arguments passed to libtool during configure step
#         Currently defaults to "--disable-ltlibs", but this will be going
#         away when libtool .la files are brought back

...so I dutifully added:

LIBTOOLFLAGS=   --enable-ltlibs

...to textproc/redland/Makefile.  This causes the .la files to be built under 
${WORKSRC}, but libtool still decides not to install them:
