No, I reread the manual and ltconfig, and this is not right.  What
I want to do is to disable shared libraries for a particular *library*,
not for a *package*.  I want the virtual machine's library to be
static-only (for speed), and yet be able to build the modules
(networking, GUI, regex, ...) as shared libraries.

Splitting the configury in two parts would allow me to use
--disable-shared=vm for example, but it is looks like a bad
hack to me.  I solved the problem adding "--tag disable-shared"
to the libtool command lines in the VM's subdirectory; maybe this
is not an orthodox (i.e. intended) way to use them, but it does
solve the problem, it is more elegant and upwards-compatible.
