This work gives us a library per build directory, changes all of our binaries so that they use shared rather than static libraries, and uses map files to enforce public APIs from each module in the code base.

The principal one is that 'make dest' needs to build all static build products, which radically changes the way that it is implemented (you need to tell configure that you want a 'dest style' tree). Also, whilst libtool builds every object twice (for PIC and non-PIC), we need to add in a LWP build to this, at least until we can remove LWP from the tree.

ok. Now that that the libwrap script has been merged ( 
http://gerrit.openafs.org/7202 ), what remains to be done before adding 
"make check" to one of the buildbot builders?
