Libtool uses MS's lib program when not using gcc in windows. On msys
"lib /out:.libs/liba.lib" is translated to "lib
C:\msys1.0\OUT;.libs\liba.lib". I'm not sure when lib (or windows)
started accepting "-" for options, but "lib -out" fixes the problem on
Windows XP. Would there be any objection to changing that in mainline
libtool?
I think that when we put that in, there were some older MSVC versions
that did no accept -out. May be remembering wrongly, though.
Pretty sure "-" has been valid since at least Win95. Definitely this
should be changed.

LIB : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\msys1.0\OUT;.libs\liba.lib'
Does
lib //OUT:.libs/liba.lib
work? Does anybody know whether doubling the slash can lead to problems
when used under Cygwin (I think they address shares that way)? Not that
the Cygwin/MSVC combo works with Libtool now...
On MSYS //foo becomes /foo, so it would work. On Cygwin //foo is left
alone, so it would not work. Please just change everything to use dashes.
