I've been under the impression that *.a files go into the -devel packages and
*.la files should not be packaged at all. Also, the guidelines explicitly say
nothing about *.a files, only about *.la files.

In my F8 system, the command "locate *.a|grep ^/usr/lib|wc -l" shows that I have
at least 109 *.a files in the libdir. Piping the grep result to "xargs rpm -qf"
shows, that most of these files (at least 85) indeed come from -devel packages.

As far as I understand, the *.a files can be used to statically link the library
when compiling something under Fedora. I'm not sure if it's actually that useful
in this case, but I added it for consistency, as the other Enchant providers
also have the *.a files shipped in a -devel package.

This is definitely not a blocker for me, if you want me to remove the *.a file,
I will.
