ITP: g-wrap (& question about -fPIC)



g-wrap is a GPL'd tool for simplifying the generation of guile wrappers
for C libraries.

I have made some .debs on a potato system, which are available from 

http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~rgmerk/software

Rob Browning, the upstream maintainer who is also the emacs20 Debian
maintainer, will probably sponsor the upload until I get around
to the new-maintainer process.

The packages pass lintian, with one notable exception -
libgwrapguile.so is not compiled with the -fPIC flag.  According to 
policy, shared libraries should be compiled with -fPIC, while static
libraries should not.  g-wrap uses automake, and therefore libtool,
to compile its libraries.  Is there a "standard way" to set things up
so that the .so gets compiled with -fPIC and the .a does not?
