under cygwin/mingw.
probe whether the cygwin/mingw library supplies a stub DllMain
(but this information isn't yet used).
* ltconfig.in (mingw32, extract_expsyms_cmds): if HOST_CC is set,
use that to build impgen so we can use it when cross-compiling.
use correct entry points for mingw so static C++ constructors get
called for code in the DLL.
* ltmain.in (impgen.c): define O_BINARY to 0 if it is not in the
system headers.
AC_CHECK_TOOL in AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP.
* libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Pass the $build variable to
ltconfig.
(AC_PROG_RANLIB): replaced with AC_CHECK_TOOL.
* ltconfig.in (build): new variable to hold the build triplet
which is now checked for unless --no-verify is specified.
(--build): new argument to set the build triplet.

uses depdemo
* doc/PLATFORMS: 1.3b passes all tests on GNU/Linux,
FreeBSD (2.2.6 and 3.1)
* doc/libtool.texi: it's possible to link libtool libraries
using -L and -l, better documentation of uninstall and clean mode,
rename dummy to force, documented -no-fast-install,
AC_LIBLTDL_* must be called before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL,
documented hardcode_into_libs and striplib/old_striplib,

and striplib/old_striplib variables, set strip commands for GNU strip,
on FreeBSD >= 3.2 set hardcode_into_libs to yes,
fast-install mode doesn't work if hardcode_into_libs = yes
* ltmain.in: reimplemented hardcoding into libraries:
new relink mode, preserve all libtool args, relink libraries
when installing if necessary
added -no-fast-install flag, removed unnecessary `dlname'
initialization, use striplib/old_striplib for stripping libraries,
dlname is always soname or in library_names so we don't need
to handle different file names

running export_symbols_cmds.

LoadLibrary will search the loaded libraries for a match and
return one of them if the path search load fails. Simulate a
failure in this case for compatibility with the other APIs.
Also, LoadLibrary takes the liberty of adding `.dll' to library
names passed without an extension, we now add a trailing `.' to
prevent this from happening.

libltdl without creating links or mode 777 directories.
* instutil/*: deleted.
* TODO: Recommend libtool.m4 to be inserted in acinclude.m4. AIX
4.3.2.0 no longer fails on static dlopening. GNU DLD no longer
has to support .la files, since libltdl already does. Convenience
libraries and reloadable objects should be tested in the
testsuite. We could support some amount of control on the soname

automake. Documented INCLTDL.
* cdemo/main.c: "Welcome _to_ ..."
* mdemo/main.c: ditto

a dll build on win32 hosts.
* ltconfig.in (--enable-win32-dll): new flag for the cli.

* NEWS: noted new macro.
AC_ENABLE_STATIC, AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE,
AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): Warn if they appear after
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, actually.
(AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Check whether DLOPEN support is to be enabled

improve (?) help message about --disable-libtool-lock.

* doc/libtool.texi: documented the new `clean' mode
* ltconfig.in: set need_version=no on OSF (reported by
Marcus Sundberg <mackan@stacken.kth.se>)
* ltmain.in: allow absolute non-existant -L paths,
always use output_objdir instead of objdir for temporary files,
delete generated temporary symbol lists,
don't add .la twice in the pseudo-library header,
implemented and documented clean mode (deletes libraries,
programs and object files and the files associated with them),
if build_libtool_libs=no and no static library is available,
try to link the program against the shared library,
don't add a statically linked library to the dependency_libs
* ltmain.in (help uninstall): added a missing backslash
after echo (reported by Ossama Othman)
which links to object files we must create. Do not test for empty
pic_flag to create such links. Use objext when searching for
object files extracted from convenience library.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin*, file_magic_cmd): Use autoconf-located target
objdump tool. Track OBJDUMP like DLLTOOL and AS.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin*, deplibs_check_method): Accept
"architecture: i386" as optional suffix, for it is printed on a
separate line sometimes.
* ltmain.in (cygwin*, ltdll.c): Wrap DllMain declaration in extern "C".

(aix4*, archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds): Use shared_flag and

* ltconfig.in (check for gcc): removed a bogus line,
check for shl_load in libdld

cause main.o to be updated at the wrong time; the new approach is
to modify the libtool script so that it enables dry run depending
on whether an environment variable is set or not. I've also moved
`after' and `before' to a directory deep within $objdir, instead
of creating it in ../tests.
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Removed.
automake may use sub-makes, and the setting will not be propagated
to them on some makes. Instead, create a dry version of libtool
and switch between it and the original one before and after dry
runs.
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Added libtool-*, created by
dryrun.test.
(before, after): Create them within ../tests.
(libtool): Set to `/bin/sh ./libtool' by default, but use LIBTOOL,
SHELL and top_builddir from the environment if available. For dry
runs, use "$libtool -n".
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Added before and after.
* ltmain.in: Do not create links to object files in dry runs.
* doc/libtool.texi: removed hardcode_into_libs documentation
* libtool.m4: some DJGPP fixes
* ltconfig.in: ditto, reverted one of my previous patches: we need
to check for NM, removed the hardcode_into_libs support since
no platform seems to support it
* ltmain.in: some DJGPP fixes, removed the hardcode_into_libs support
default, as most a.out platforms use it, and end up in trouble if
we preload it, so it's safer to rule it out by default, and
special case its removal from exclude_expsyms if someone ever
complains.
documented dryrun.test and depdemo*
* ltmain.in (lt_preloaded_symbols): dry-run mode bugfix
* tests/dryrun.test: new test to check whether the dry-run
mode works properly
otherwise it will just be disregarded. This would cause
netbsd/m68k with GNU ld a.out, and certainly many other platforms,
to incorrectly believe that shared libraries were supported, while
archive_cmds was empty, causing shared libraries not to be created

* ltmain.in: cosmetic fixes, don't try to link libraries only once
(although it's not necessary on many platforms and looks ugly...),
library was linked with the same convenience library by
uniquifying the extract directory. It is now named after the new

the deplibs check is now optional
* libltdl/configure.in: read libtool --config only once,
merged AC_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE+AC_SYS_NM_PARSE from libtool.m4
* libtool.m4: AC_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE+AC_SYS_NM_PARSE were not

* tests/demo-exec.test, demo-inst.test: removed hell0
* tests/deplibs.test: new test to test the deplibs_check_method
* libtoolize.in: add the libtool scripts to libltdl.tar.gz

AC_CHECK_LIBM sets LIBM, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE doesn't work
when libltdl is already installed
* *demo/Makefile.am: use LIBM
* *demo/configure.in: AC_SUBST LIBM
* libltdl/configure.in: use ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore instead of
USE_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE
* ltconfig.in: added link_all_deplibs variable
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* ltmain.in: always search for libname.la - don't eval libname_spec,
