OK, you bring an argument of the sort "this can also be done in a different way". But that's not a conclusive argument against the patch. The patch (once it's forward-ported) allows Behdad to achieve what he wants - very elegantly - with little work - and with relatively minor overhead in libtool. In what way do you think we are making Libtool worse with the patch? Thanks, Ralf
