I prefer to do this one step at a time, because it applies to other 
libraries too.

This would be best.  Steve, please post your patch again in reply to 
this message (I've added back binutils, gdb, and gcc mailing lists) and 
I'll ok it.

I'll look into the "standalone libtool" idea more, but this would 
already be quite a step forward.
