Curently, pkglibtool does not support interlibrary dependencies, and in
fact, pkgsrc explicitly disallows shared library interdependencies (as
NetBSD has had systems without shared object support up through
1.3.x!).  Library dependencies are added to the link lines of affected
programs...for now.

The current solution is to remove the dependent library, and link with both
at the program link stage.  If I can figure out how to fix this
properly--which would require installing the .la files, something we don't
currently do--I could update pkglibtool to do it.
