There is one patch against libtool for the benefit of Darwin, that I have had to rejected because it causes regressions for most other platforms. You should be able to find the thread in the list archives. Also there is a long standing problem with the way zsh echo handles backslashes that I haven't had the time to look into. Fixing this would make life for libtool on darwin a whole lot easier... Cheers, Gary. -- ())_. Gary V.
