11 just to give an idea of where you can safely drop static-libs
12 altogether. Or to the most recent one on the topic:

15
16 that ignores one obvious case (the one where you have NO headers in
17 either the package or linked packages — the latter is the case for most
18 X11 libs nowadays).
19
20 And make sure you check against the version of the package you're
21 adding static-libs to, before saying that it does install headers (or
22 the other way around).
