As already pointed out by Daniel Reed, -avoid-version gets rid of the version number and associated files. At present (libtool 1.5), the only clean way to not install libtool companion files (or static libraries) is to remove them after they got installed, e.g., via Automake's install-exec-hook. -- Ralph
