Convenience libs are not really supported by cmake, the conversion from the 
libtool convenience libs to compile-all-in-one was done by purpose.
If you find a way to make this work portable with cmake on all supported 
platforms I'd be very happy.
As it is now, changing this to static libs may break things on some platforms. 
I strongly recommend not to change it to static libs except you know very 
well what you are doing.
