in any case, i'm asking because we do have a policy of remove all static libs 
(.a) and .la files. i just wasn't sure the .a files were static libs in this 
case, or just something completely unrelated.

but since the others have .so, i think they are static libs.

also, usually there are versioned .so files and the .so files themselves need to 
be in -devel; i guess it's not so for ocaml packages...
