Commited few hours ago.

Anyway there is a new problem. Some la-files are included in main packages 
(kde as example) because these are needed for libltdl to work correctly. Due 
to that main packages start requiring tons of -devel subpackages :|

Solutions?
- ignore these deps on per spec basis
- only generate such Requires in -devel subpackages (checking by subpackage 
name)
- other?
