You should look at the '.mk' files in the 'rules' subdirectory. These
files are automake Makefiles that are automatically merged to form the
Makefile.am of subdirectory 'pandora_components'.

If you want to add your .a lib to build a component, you must add it to
the _LDFLAGS target that contains your component.

For example if you want to use libfoo.a to build mycomponent.cc you would
have something like:

libpmycomp_la_LDFLAGS =     libfoo.a
libpmycomp_la_SOURCES =     mycomponent.cc
