We do suggest you uninstall before updating, which would have removed these
files. Now, with autotools still building the .la's, if you are going back
and forth, that could be a problem. On that, a) we will be moving away from
autotools in the next version and b) I hope most people would start and
stay with a build structure until then.

Thanks for checking into this.
