.la files for Apache DSOs
Does anybody actually *want* these installed into prefix/modules by
"make install" and "apxs -i"?
If so, please speak up. I'd be curious about *why*.

I guess... I can't see that it really hurts, at any rate. It is just
that in the several places in libtool documentation that I saw
-export-dynamic mentioned, two were quite clear that it was for main
executable files while the other was more general.

Well, some modules export symbols for use by other modules. Maybe that is
why?

We already do link DSOs with -module, though we also throw on
-export-dynamic as well, which doesn't seem appropriate.

AFAICT we do link DSOs with -module.

I say "no". As modules, they aren't intended for further linking.
Note that we should probably be linking the modules with libtool's -module
switch. It would be interesting to see if that prevents the installation of
the .la file.
