one of libtool's argued reasons for existance is handling the vagaries of shared library generation on different systems, except it's demonstrably broken. making the bald assumption that everything is ELF and skipping libtool entirely is at least not self-delusional. the point of autotools is to lower the barriers to write portable software. so why is so much autotools software non-portable? bleh. -- Aaron J.
