Static builds & snapshots

Hi all,

Linking with static libraries now work fine again!

Fix will be present in upcoming INN 2.6.4:
   https://inn.eyrie.org/trac/changeset/10406/ (issue with circular 
dependencies + Libtool bug)
   https://inn.eyrie.org/trac/changeset/10412/ (issue with expire.c)

Patch submitted to improve --preserve-dup-deps in Libtool Debian package.



Incidentally, would it be possible to add a few configure flags to INN 
during the dailing generation of snapshots?  It would regularly test 
that some options are still working fine.
For instance :
- on Monday: ./configure --enable-shared=no
- on Tuesday: ./configure --enable-tagged-hash
- on Wednesday: ./configure --enable-keywords
- on Thursday: ./configure --enable-largefiles
- on Friday: ./configure --enable-reduced-depends
- on the other days: ./configure


Or I just put a note in HACKING to recall that these flags should be 
tested before making a release :)
