 There is no static variant of openimageio. I found a statement in a
 message on the mailing list that said there are dynamic and static
 variants of all libraries. I don't know if this is truly a requirement.

 I want to start using llibOpenImageIO in my CLI application. On macOS.
 since the app is signed, any .dylibs it loads also have to be signed which
 means I would have to include signed copies of the .dylibs with the
 application. Even if this were not the case, I would not want to have to
 tell users they have to install macports to run it. Installation of the
 signed .dylibs has the potential to interfere with somebody's macports
 installation. I would prefer therefore to include the code in the app by
 linking to static libraries.

 Please add a static variant or just add static libraries to the build.
