I know there's a controversy about .la files. libtool is certainly a very old
thing, and I don't like it either.

But, you should consider the fact that Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.. include .la
files for all libs, and ask yourself whether you want to maximize compatibility
with Muse and others.

And what you really should do IMO is ask on waf-users. These guys know the
problem and will tell you what's best.
