I have added a .bep file to allow Haikuporter to build and package libwalter, at this time it is just build a static library. It may be handy to have it also build a shared library. http://ports.haiku-files.org/browser/haikuports/trunk/haiku-apps/libwalter/libwalter-97.bep

Do we really want this as a shared library? This means maintaining a stable ABI so it restricts what we can do in libwalter, which I think would otherwise be a good place to experiment with some controls, before we consider moving them to Haiku.

Also, I suspect most apps will ever need only one or two controls from here, not the whole library, and having to add an extra depedency just for one control is not great.
