Comment:

 It has been a de-facto standard in MacPorts ports since forever to install
 static libraries as well, when possible, although I don't know who
 actually needs static libraries. (In cmake, it's not typically possible
 without some workarounds, but this software use autotools where it's
 typically easy, as shown in [https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/pull/20428 the PR].) We don't hide static libraries in a variant
 because that makes it impossible for it to be used as a dependency.

 If you think this practice should be changed, please gain consensus about
 that on the mailing list first. We should be consistent about this across
 the ports collection.
