As I mentioned in other post, you can merge multiple archives into a 
single/combined one pretty easily.

I think we can agree that it is not useful for shared libraries, and 
with versioning in place, combined shared
library will be broken the moment we version an API.

I don't think we need build config  options just for the combined static 
library when we can achieve the
same result with a simple script post build.
