I've heard from one of the xfce developers upstream, he says all the
.a/.la files are unused, and there is no reason to ship them. 

So, I will check in a spec with all the .a/.la's removed as well as
some other minor changes and hopefully that will make the xfce
packages ready for a widespread review. 

thanks for the feedback.
