This is just lame. I do not understand the explanation at all, since I do 
not see any scenario in which the static library makes things easier for the 
consumer of the library. I have added a commit comment saying so.

And the fact that the library building code is handwritten is a WTF by 
itself. With any reasonable build system, changing a library from static to 
shared is at most a one-line change. But upstream's build system is not 
reasonable.

Well, if that is the case, considering that upstream themselves consider the 
library obsolete, I guess it is fine to orphan it and let it be retired 
eventually.
