But consider that, if libtool creates a shell wrapper anyway, your tests/gst setup now means it goes through two shell wrappers before launching the real thing. Behdad requests an optimization of this: one shell wrapper is created, by libtool (since it may already create one anyway). I don't see the fact that it may sometimes be unneeded for libtool's purposes (and only created for Behdad because he used the env vars option) as a problem at all. This discussion has dragged along quite a bit now. I will try to remain silent now until I've had time to redo the actual patch. Cheers, Ralf
