In any case, I think efforts would be better spent helping get a
modern
libtool into the tree, since the one there now is ancient and I
wouldn't
be surprised if the mingw/cygwin-specific parts have bitrotted from
years of neglect.
There is effort to get that done, as you can see in the recent (few
days ago) thread starting here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-03/msg00293.html
Please feel free to step into this other discussion and help/give
advice about how achieve this goal.
For example, this AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL macro was
removed/deprecated from libtool three years ago.
What should be used with a recent libtool? And where is it documented?
