Hi!
I recently upgraded to MSYS 1.0.11 and it provides file(1). Since
then the library dependecy check fails if $NM isn't the good old
binutils nm. So, I propose this patch (for master).
Ok to push?
Cheers,
Peter

func_win32_libid doesn't work with MS dumpbin
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_MAGIC_METHOD): The $NM
interface is assumed to be BSD nm in func_win32_libid, so
check for that before using it.
