OK, I think I found out why I don't have this problem of double libs any
more: I'm using Oliviers first patch to merge ./configure.in and 
epan/configure.in.
Olivier: could you commit just htis first small patch (I can do this too)
or are there problems with this on other platforms?

No, but it's possible. I just can't make any promises that I will do it
before I leave for DomRep on Thursday morning :)

Depending on the platform, this is what libtool does. On some though,
it is necessary to link the stuff into the library.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
