Hi Peter,

First, let me thank you for your hard work on this!
Then, let me give a couple of quick comments, and
sorry that I still haven't had a chance to test any
of it myself (so take the comments with a grain of salt).

Hmm.  OK.

The file_magic_glob is really cute, I like it.  :)

Sure.

I'd really like it if there were no two different functions 
func_extract_a_lib and func_extract_an_archive.  Something like:
(watch out: func_show_eval is Libtool HEAD notation; untested)

func_extract_an_archive ()
{
    $opt_debug
    # save nonlocal variables
    f_ex_an_ar_dir_save=$output_objdir
    output_objdir=$1; shift
    f_ex_an_ar_oldlib_save=$oldlib
    oldlib=$1
    f_ex_an_ar_name_save=$name

    func_show_eval "$extract_old_archive_cmds"
    
    if ( eval "$list_old_archive_cmd" | sort | sort -uc >/dev/null 2>&1); then
     :
    else
     func_fatal_error "object name conflicts in archive: $output_objdir/$oldlib"
    fi

    # restore nonlocal variables
    oldlib=$f_ex_an_ar_oldlib_save
    name=$f_ex_an_ar_name_save
    output_objdir=$f_ex_an_ar_dir_save

}

and then in libtool.m4:

# MSVC
AR='link -LIB -NOLOGO'
# for other MSVC versions that might be just 'LIB', ...
list_old_archive_cmd='$AR -LIST "$oldlib"'
extract_old_archive_cmds='$AR -LIST "$oldlib" | while read name; do
                        (cd $output_objdir && link -LIB -NOLOGO -EXTRACT:$name 
$oldlib );
                      done'

# Default
list_old_archive_cmd='$AR t "$oldlib"'
extract_old_archive_cmds='$AR x "$oldlib"'

That would enable you to kill some more of the system-dependency of the
patch in ltmain.  It would also enable us to test for and use `ar' if
it's available and working.  Does the presumably quadratic loop for MSVC
hurt for large archives?

Also note that I intended to parametrize more of the $AR handling anyway
(for omitting $RANLIB).

More comments to be found inline (some are really intended as hints
rather than anything else).

Cheers,
Ralf

In general, you can't use .libs, it fails on FAT volumes.  We have
$objdir for this.

Also I wonder why you deemed this necessary.

Moreover, independently of your patch, I believe we see some redundancy
here as we filter out ` -lc' here and in ltmain.  Wonder whether we can
remove one of them?
