because they're useless libtool droppings.
Sames goes for drivers.
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
After some looking around, the only solution I can find is from http://www.mail-archive.com/automake@gnu.org/msg15837.html which says to add an automake hook like this : install-exec-hook: rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/libfoo.la This would result in the .la file being removed right after being installed. As of today, I don't think libtool supports not installing the .la file. I can't say for sure though. I've tested this method, and it does work. If this is an acceptable solution, then I volunteer to do it.

Jesse, did you get around to doing this?
