Yes, sorry, I keep forgetting about auto-import feature, I guess I'm just
too accustomed to the "traditional" Windows way and have trouble accepting
auto-import magic. It's true that projects using auto-import could live
with falling back to a static library. But consider that auto-importing is
relatively new so there should be proportionally few projects using it,
hence IMHO the risk of breakage remains reasonably small.

Most projects using libtool come from Unix/Linux where "auto-import" is the default so it can be seen that most projects already depend on it (and the main issue for them is to use --no-undefined so libtool will build a DLL). Primarily programs which originated under Windows (or really care about Windows) use the dllexport/dllimport facilities.
