Dear libtool'ers,
while using the current version 1.4.2 of libtool I encountered the
following problems:
On a Darwin 1.4 (MacOSX 10.0, bash) --
I had to --disable-shared for a complete build.
This is due to the extra convenience libraries on the final link command
line.
I got it working with the floowing patch, but do not know if it would be
a general solution:

On x86-pc-mingw32 (Win95, Cygwin bash) --
The build process is generally ok, but it failed to `make install' on a
binary using a shared library (DLL) also included in the built package.
This is due to the creation of a wrapper script for `program' in
`.libs/lt-program.exe'.
First of all the Makefile dependency is never fulfilled because
`program' differs from `program.exe', but it seems necessary because
Win95 could "think" `program.exe' is a real EXE.
Second Makefile will not install the `program.exe' because it `test -f
program.exe' before running `libtool --mode=install ...'.
I really do not know how to fix this behaviour... Maybe also Automake
may be involved?
If somebody is willingly to fix these bugs I would really appreciate.
Also I could recheck probable changes if supplied. If you need more
information please tell me.
Thanks in advance,
