libtool is convinced that you need .la files.
from their perspective it is probably correct.

if you can come up with a proper way to avoid installing .la files from
within automake/libtool (without dumping automake/libtool), feel free to
suggest fixes.
else you will either have to live with those files or to delete them in
some other way (e.g. with the one i proposed to roman, and which is
currently in externals/Makefile)

probably it is a safer guess to only delete .la files if there is a
matching .$(EXTENSION) file and/or a matching .so/.dll file.

nevertheless, i don't see any harm done now.
