[oe] [PATCH 1/2] introduce global control on shared/static libraries

[Stanislav Brabec]

This patch adds support for global enabling and disabling of shared or
static libraries in autoconf based packages.

All required fixes in packages that I was able to test are already in
place with exception of apmd (I plan to commit it soon as well).
