Prevents exposing a package to all of the package's
libraries.
The <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIB</filename> variable is
useful for prebuilt packages that should not be exposed
to any of the package's libraries.
In other words, you want to skip the
<filename>shlib</filename> procedure for the package.

<para>
Use the variable by setting it to "1" for a particular
package:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIB = "1"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
You can achieve similar results by using the
<link linkend='var-PRIVATE_LIBS'><filename>PRIVATE_LIBS</filename></link>
variable.
However, with the <filename>PRIVATE_LIBS</filename>
variable, you must specifically list all of a package's
libraries.
Using the <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIB</filename> variable,
allows you to quickly prevent exposure to all the libraries.
