As previously discussed.,It would be better for backward-compatibility of 
people linking against DPDK, if the static lib could come out as both a 
combined library and separate individual libraries by default.

Otherwise everybody linking against DPDK has to change their code, and it 
won't be easy for them to move forward and backward against different DPDKs 
before and after this change.

Thanks,
Matthew.
