I looked at the configure script and figured out what was needed for
ft-config.  I made a perl script to output what was needed to make configure
use the .so file instead of the .a.

I put the perl script in the directory with the argus-clients-ver directory
and called it ft-config.  Calling configure like this made it work:

FT_CONFIG="../ft-config"
export FT_CONFIG
./configure --with-libft=yes


Here's the perl script:

------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Getopt::Long;

my $libs;
my $alibs;
my $static;
my $cflags;

GetOptions ("libs" => \$libs,
	    "additional-libs" => \$alibs,
	    "static" => \$static,
	    "cflags" => \$cflags );

if ($libs) {
	print " -lft ";
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
