I don't like the idea of patching the .la files, really. But thinking a
bit more about the -module option than previously, it's likely that one
would want to dlopen a library using the skin, rather than the skin
itself. So I would eventually vote for getting rid of -module instead;
it looks like much saner.

If people have objections so as making skin libraries not dlopenable
anymore, it's the right time to express them.
