On Solaris and *BSD, static libs end with .a and shared objects (dynamic
libs) end with .so. I originally configured with --enable-static
--disable-shared, but I've tried a variety of combinations of these. I've
also manually copied both lib types (.a and .so) into the plugins
directory, and even manually edited the .la files (convenience headers).
Nothing has worked so far. I'll keep trying though, and post the results.
