There are only static archives and shared libraries which could be linked directly without the indirection of using import libraries. This simplifies for example libtool handling.I don't see how. If anything it would complicate libtool handling since libtool would have to know about both import libraries and dlls. You can't just give up on import libraries, if for no other reason than some libraries (like cygwin's for instance) contain a combination of import data and static data.
However, as Chuck mentions that doesn't detract from the merits of the patch. I'm sure that it would still be very useful to a number of people.
