This patch modifies the linking of the WINGs libraries
to create a shared library. wmaker used to do this, but
it was dropped around wmaker-0.90/0.91.
The shared .so library is needed when compiling and running
the wdm display manager and any other programs which link
to libWINGs.

This patch adds the --disable-verbose-compile switch to the
configure script.
When this option is used it reduces the verbosity of compilation
messages to the essential. However compiler warnings are not affected
and thus gain visibility by not standing in the middle of a storm
of other messages.
In summary, the compilation messages are reduced to a stream of
CC array.o
CC bagtree.o
CC configuration.o
CC connection.o
CC data.o
[...]
instead of a mind-boggling flux of
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../src -I../WINGs/WINGs -I../wrlib -I../src
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/loca\"/usr/local/share/WINGs\"

- Also tested the backward compatibility ability of the WINGs proplist code
which seems to work quite well.
Starting with this moment, Window Maker no longer needs libPropList and is
now using the better and much more robust proplist code from WINGs. Also the
WINGs based proplist code is actively maintained while the old libPropList
code is practically dead and flawed by the fact that it borrowed concepts
from the UserDefaults which conflicted with the retain/release mechanism,
making some problems that libPropList had, practically unsolvable without a
complete redesign (which can be found in the more robust WINGs code).
written in the libwraster.la file allowing automatic linking against
all the libs libwraster depends upon without specifing them again when
linking programs that use libwraster. -lwraster will be enough.
