Some packages containing shared libraries might be registered as shlib
providers when they shouldn't (for example, the lib is for their private use
and must not generate any dependency).
EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIBS is targeted at that, but it could be set for entire
recipe
only.
Variable EXCLUDE_PACKAGES_FROM_SHLIBS allows to set list of packages
that are
not candidates for shlib providers.
