Distributing static libraries

[Andres Mejia]

I have seen a commit with mp4v2 that disables building of the static
library. Though I know binaries in Debian are normally linked with shared
libraries, distributing the static library is beneficial to users with
different requirements for software they distribute.

I have heard of various use cases involving distribution of stand alone
binaries (no dependent shared libraries).
