We discussed removing static libraries for most packages back in March [1].
Now makepkg for pacman-4.1 has an option "staticlibs" that automatically removes them. Should I make that the default in our makepkg.conf?

Why not check first which applications build with --disable-static? A few packages like libpng, etc.. can be compiled with --disable-static which feels like a more neat approach then deleting the static libraries.
