Right, talloc, tdb and netapi are always built statically,
and they are configured by the same macro SMB_LIBRARY(...)
in configure.in.

For libwbclient on the other hand, Jerry wanted to only have
a shared library, so that there is no temptation to link it
in statically. Only with --enable-developer the static lib
will be built. (Jerry - correct me, if I am getting anything
wrong here.) Therefore, there needs to be a separation between
the target to define the build and the dependency that
triggers the build. Hence the difference.

This could of course be made more homogenious-looking in the
Makefile by setting more variables in the configure script.
(One for the target, one for the dependency.)
If you find the current Makefile too confusing, I can do that.

Cheers - Michael
