According to Jan Engelhardt on 7/24/2009 3:25 AM:
Hi,


when one has a program that does something like

  if(strcmp(argv[0], "gunzip") == 0)
    uncompress();
  else
    compress();

GNU Coding Standards frown on this practice:

The "Multipurpose binaries" are born before "GNU Coding Standards". So I think that libtool has to support them for historical reasons.
