As subversion uses libtool, a better solution than to delete static libs at the end is to pass '--disable-static' to econf - that way static libs aren't built in the first place. Tested to work correctly with USE="apache2 bash-completion berkdb ctypes-python doc java nls perl python ruby sasl webdav-neon -debug -dso -emacs -extras -gnome-keyring -kde -vim-syntax -webdav-serf".

This is indeed a lot more elegant, thank you :)
