Summary: pkg-config static libraries don't work

Initial Comment:
$(pkg-config --libs --static allegro-4.9) doesn't actually work. The
problem is that pkg-config will spit out -lallegro-4.9 when our static
library is called liballegro-static-4.9.a.  But also pkg-config isn't
smart enough to write the full path to the .a file, so if you have
liballegro-static-4.9.so installed as well that will be used instead.

Message:
I think pkg-config is too dumb to do this right - the only way is to have
separate packages for static and dynamic versions so I changed it to do
that. Now you can do:

"pkg-config --libs --static allegro-static-4.9" and it should work as
intended.
