You've asked for different, and slightly confusing things, so I've
done what I think is the Right Thing.  I'll change it if you want
something different.

I think the static libraries are already installed - The default for
libtool is to create them and install them.  I don't see this as a bad
thing.

I have fiddled with src/test/Makefile.am such that the libcron library
is linked in - I don't quite understand the static/dynamic concern, so
I just let automake do what it thinks is the Right Thing.  I have set
the program to be built, not installed, and called when you run `make
check'.

I also fixed two srcdir != builddir nits.

Lastly, I changed the name of your build file.  In the case where the
source file to BINARY is just BINARY.c, you don't need to specify a
sources line.  Given that your testsuites will probably be one
sourcefile per test, I have altered the binary name to allow this to
happen.  It makes for an easier to read Makefile.am.

Hope this helps.  Gotta run to work.  I will probably be on email
sporadically throughout the day.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
