libtool/mdemo
Gary V. Vaughan 1cf9d2964d * NEWS: Updated.
* THANKS: Added Rob Collins and Chuck Wilson for their cygwin
work.

From Robert Collins  <robert.collins@itdomain.com.au>:
* configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT): Needed for DOSish systems.
* libtool.m4 (shlibpath_overrides_runpath) [cygwin]: Set to yes
when compiling with gcc.
(lt_prog_compiler_pic) [cygwin]: No longer needs the -DDLL_EXPORT
hack, so we just say the pic is the default.
(AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [cygwin]: Extract symbols from a
library normally.
[cygwin]: Declare C++ compiler characterisics for g++, taking into
account the new auto-import support in cygwin ld.
* ltmain.in (specialdeplibs) [cygwin]: Be careful about
eliminating duplicate -lgcc's from the link line.
[cygwin]: Be smarter about .exe suffixes.
* demo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):  Support
DOSish systems properly.
* depdemo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):  Ditto.
* demo/Makefile.am (deplibs-check): Allow for .exe suffix.  Use
hell_static instead of hell.static for multi-`.' inhibited OSes.
* tests/demo-exec.test: Ditto.
* tests/demo-inst.test: Ditto.
* demo/foo.h [cygwin]: Sanitize cygwin dll support.
* demo/foo.c (_LIBFOO_COMPILATION_): No longer required.
* demo/hello.c (_LIBFOO_COMPILATION_): Ditto.
* depdemo/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Use depdemo_static instead
of depdemo.static for multi-`.' inhibited OSes.
* tests/depdemo-exec.test: Ditto.
* tests/depdemo-inst.test: Ditto.
* mdemo/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS):  Ditto for mdemo.static.
* tests/dryrun.test: Ditto.
* tests/mdemo-exec.test: Ditto.
* tests/mdemo-inst.test: Ditto.
* tests/build-relink.test:  Be careful about possible .exe
suffixes.
* tests/noinst-link.test: Allow for .exe suffix.

This is mdemo, an example package that uses GNU libtool with an
Automake-generated environment to build two simple modules and 
a program.

It demonstrates how to build both dynamic and static libraries
that can be dlopened. mdemo uses libtool's portable dlopen
wrapper called "libltdl". 
All exported symbols are prefixed with "libname_LTX_" to avoid
symbols conflicts, especially when linking statically.
libltdl will automatically cut the prefix off to get the real name.

Note that on Windows, for the purposes of illustrating ltdl, the
libraries *are* built as dll's, but do not have the __declspec
machinery to make them suitable for loading at link time.  This is
only for clarity inside this example, look at the example in ../demo
to see how the __declspec macros should be set up.
