clamav: libclamav as shared library

[Yaakov Selkowitz]

clamav maintainer,

First, thank you for contributing this project to the distro, and 
getting clamd working properly (something I've had trouble doing 
myself).  I do have one request, however -- and I know it's not a big 
deal -- if you could build libclamav as a shared library.

This can be done by adding -no-undefined to libclamav_la_LDFLAGS in 
libclamav/Makefile.am, then run "autoreconf -i -f -v".  This will 
increase the size of the patch, but it's really worth it to have shared 
libs, as many programs and bindings will benefit.  Both shared and 
static libraries will be built by default; I usually add 
--disable-static to the configure flags in this case, as I usually find 
that static libs just take up space.

Thanks!


Yaakov
