dpkg-cross lib*.la fix_la_file bug

[Jeff Mast <jeff.mast@mastfamily.com>]

Neil,

There appears to be a bug in dpkg-cross that causes the dependency_libs 
in la files not to be converted properly in all cases. The regular 
expression search/replace you have doesn't match libraries that have a 
'-' or an extra '.' in the version name.

I hacked my version (fix_la_file routine) as follows to fix the problems 
I was having:

Version: 1.39:

                               s/\S+\/(\w+.la)/$crosslib\/$1/g;

My Hack:

                               s/\S+\/([\w-.]+.la)/$crosslib\/$1/g;


e.g. the bug causes only libxml2.la to be converted in the following 
dependency line:

dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.la 
-lrt /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la 
/usr/lib/libxml2.la'

It also still appears to be a problem with Version: 1.99+2.0.0pre1.

Regards,
Jeff
