 I removed the explicit interdiction of using -fPIC with static libs
 because I thought this had nothing to do in policy.  I don't think we
 should write things such as "your library MUST be named like this".

 What you want to say with "libraries are expected to be named like
 this" is that "it's currently best to name them like this", it's the
 recommended way, it's correct style to name them like that.

 And again, I think this ought to be in the developers reference, or the
 library packaging guide, or what ever best practices and
 recommendations guide is fit.

   But heh, it's only me.
