The library in the normal .deb package has many features enabled that
we do not need in the installer library. The biggest disadvantage is,
that it is linked against xlib (I suppose for some additional font
rendering). This blows up the library unnecessarily and would require
us to package xlib for the installer as well (what we definitly not
want to do if we can go without). So I used other compile options to
compile the library, producing a binary incompatible library.

To provide the new library for installation on the build system, as
well as an appropriate development link. We need this for other udebs,
that contain programs or libraries that wil be linked against
libdirectfb.
