I know there's a controversy about .la files. libtool is certainly a very old
thing, and I don't like it either.
But, you should consider the fact that Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.. include .la
files for all libs, and ask yourself whether you want to maximize compatibility
with Muse and others.
And what you really should do IMO is ask on waf-users. These guys know the
problem and will tell you what's best.

In other
terms, every autoconf/automake based software which builds a
shared
library which is itself linked with libjack, normally uses libtool and
thus
requires libjack.la to be present. This includes applications (such as
Muse I
presume) which build convenient internal shared libraries.
I suggest that you ask on the waf-users google group how to make an
.la file,
they know what this is all about.
It seems using .la file is *bad idea* AKAIKS, see:
