Any way lt-foo.c could go into .libs/? Or just be erased after
foo.exe has been built? Maybe both?
Also I if you don't move `foo' to `.libs/' I think you
should ensure that `libtool --mode=clean rm -f foo.exe'
erases `foo'. (Or does Cygwin's `rm' erase both at once?)
Right now Automake doesn't use `--mode=clean'. Maybe Automake
1.8 could start doing this so we don't have to hardcode this
sort of knowledge.
