Hello Christopher,

Thanks for the report.

I think that when we put that in, there were some older MSVC versions
that did no accept -out.  May be remembering wrongly, though.

Does
  lib //OUT:.libs/liba.lib

work?  Does anybody know whether doubling the slash can lead to problems
when used under Cygwin (I think they address shares that way)?  Not that
the Cygwin/MSVC combo works with Libtool now...

Thanks,
Ralf
