.la files are used by libtool for linking under some

(pkg-config has taken over their function for most purposes, as I understand
it). If you can delete the file and everything that links to tqt still builds, I'd
guess that it's safe to drop it.
Oh, it will still build, I'm just talking about stripping it after the build is
complete but before the final package is compressed. I'll strip it for now. Thanks.
