no software is ever bug free. being paralyzed by "is it ready yet" and never making a release as a result makes the problem worse. infrequent releases tend to lead to large accumulation of changes which makes them even more unstable because the interactions are never tested. libtool has a testsuite. if bugs are found, fix them, add more tests. iterate and move on. -mike
