Not to answer for anyone else, but... libtool is a necessary evil due to its use by many open source projects. It should be strongly discouraged from use for any new projects in BIG, BOLD LETTERS. However, I think including it would go a long way to easing some of the pains of compiling software written for "that other OS"... -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/
