I thought about this a little...  It actually makes life simpler if
we keep the _pic.a libraries (but not quite as clean IMHO, which is
why I got rid of them) - we then don't need anything in bsd.own.mk (or
bsd.*prog.mk), the ld.*_so Makefiles don't need changing either, and it
does away with changing set generation too.  I'll change it back that
way.
