removing static libs

I think you can achieve this by putting AC_DISABLE_STATIC before
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.

I want to use this for the panel as well and would like to see all
plugins (panel, mcs manager) only install dynamic libs. Does anyone know
if this prevents using a common static lib during the build process?
