This is GNU libtool, a generic library support script.  Libtool hides
the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent
interface.

To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your
Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am.  See the documentation for
details.

Libtool supports building static libraries on all platforms.

Shared library support has been implemented for these platforms:
  AIX 3.x (*-*-aix3*)
  AIX 4.x (*-*-aix4*)
  Digital/UNIX 3.x, a.k.a. OSF/1 (*-*-osf3*)
  FreeBSD 2.x (*-*-freebsd*)
  HP-UX 9.x, 10.x (*-*-hpux9*, *-*-hpux10*)
  IRIX 5.x, 6.x (*-*-irix5*, *-*-irix6*)
  Linux ELF targets (*-*-linux*, except *-*-linuxaout* and *-*-linuxoldld*)
  NetBSD 1.x (*-*-netbsd*)
  SCO OpenServer 5.x (*-*-sco3.2v5*)
  Solaris 1.x, a.k.a. SunOS 4.x (*-*-sunos4*)
  Solaris 2.x (*-*-solaris2*)
  All ELF targets that use both the GNU C compiler (gcc) and GNU ld

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to libtool.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install libtool.

See the file README-automake for details on Automake support for libtool.

See the info node (libtool)Tested Platforms. (or the file doc/platforms.texi)
for a list of platforms that libtool shared library support was tested on.

If you have any suggestions or bug reports, or you wish to port libtool
to a new platform, please send electronic mail to Gord Matzigkeit
