Why?  And do these applications generally put the archive library directly
on the link line, or do they use -L and -l?

If there's no technical reason for people to use archive libraries (and
there almost certainly isn't) and we're not going to break application
builds by removing them, then I'd much rather not ship them (as long as the
shared libraries are easily generated).
