1. Why did you send this in private?
2. How does cmake handle this problem differently?

I'll note that with all of your cmake advocacy, you still haven't
answered Shachar's original question (which Oron did, for autotools).

Re: Telling libtool/automake to be less anal

Hi,
This is the beginning of Shachar's posting:

Quote ( bold mine):
Libtool is a great tool, and it fits nicely with automake and autoconf, making it extremely simple to just take a new project, write a few (less than 10) lines to instructions, and get a project that already builds static and shared libraries, including support for cross build, out of tree builds, make install/uninstall, strip and even packaging the sources into a distribution tar ball. Just great.

I happen to disagree and I can say so even if any of you do not like it.
This does not mean I have to fix Shachar's problem or even look at at it,
If you are looking for a fight I am not interested.

The thing to take to heart is that if you are looking to convert anyone 
(and it certainly seemed that way), then you picked the wrong way to do so.

In other words, you have the right to disagree, and to say so, but it is 
not likely to be effective unless you back it up with something more 
substantial than "KDE switched". I believe that what Tzafrir was looking 
for, and I know that what I was looking for, is a reason to find out 
about a new technology that we were not aware of that would make our 
lives better. You may, of course, wish to view that as "picking up a 
fight", but I don't think that would be a fair characteristic. 
Unfortunately, I did not feel you supplied such a reason.

Thanks,
Shachar
