I also remember discussion with Colin Walters about ostree, which at
one point only removed from $libdir itself (my "libdir" argument) but
now removes all .la files.  Colin, the commit that changed the la
killing to recurse didn't have a rationale - can you clarify this?  If
ostree can get away with removing all, them maybe we don't need the
"libdir" option at all.
