[RFC PATCH, binutils, ELF 9/11] Add support for creating import libraries

Hi Thomas,

Not to be a pedant, but to me that paragraph implies that "--out-implib" is the 
option to be used when an application wants to link against an import library,
rather than the option to be used when creating an import library.

How about this slight rewording ?

 * Extended the --out-implib=<file> option, previously restricted to x86 PE
   targets, to any ELF based target.  This allows the generation of an import
   library for an ELF executable, which can then be used by another application
   to link against the executable.

Cheers
