miscellaneous cygwin libtool patch

[edward]

hi peeps
 
in a fit of pique, i managed to get cvs libtool 
running for dll/static libs on the cygwin platform. i think i broke most other 
windows, and possibly other platforms though. anyways, in case anyone wants to 
take a look at it. i have placed the entire patched source, with an example 
trivial project demonstrating static archive and dll generation 
here:

If you just want the patch, it's here:

if you have a .def file, then make, make check, 
make install work on cygwin, including the script wrappers. other than defining 
the proper automake commands for cygwin, there is relatively little 
modifications required to use it in your project. the bzip2 file contains 
relatively little explanation of what i did, but has a decent log of how i did 
it.
 

warning: this really isn't good enough to be put 
into cvs, but it makes *my* life a heck of a lot easier. until we get a good 
version of libtool from the fine libtool peeps, this might do.
  cheers,
edward
 
PS. who put all the funky binary characters in cvs 
libtool.m4 version 1.148? sounds like an "oops" to me.
