Alexandre:

 I attempted to build a test case which uses a file with a $ in
the name.  Taking tagdemo and changing main.cpp to m$in.cpp breaks
Automake.  The problem is that even though
progname_SOURCES = 'm$in.cpp'
is in Makefile.am, am_progname_OBJECTS is empty.

Is this not supported by Automake, or is it a bug?
If Automake doesn't support $ in source file names, then
I would suggest that it isn't an important requirement for Libtool.
