This is because these libraries are used for a couple of the programs 
we ship, but we don't want to give the impression that we're going to 
support them for anyone else.  You'll also notice that the .a versions, 
while they do get built, do not get installed.

I suppose, if someone really cared, we could build and install shared 
versions that couldn't be linked against (i.e., the .so.1.2 files that 
the run-time linker would look for, but not the .so versions that the 
compiler tools would want), but it just doesn't seem that important....
