Libtool puts a valid .so somewhere for me already, so this is what
I'm doing for that right now:
Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/Makefile: Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/Makefile.PL
cd Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT && $(PERL) Makefile.PL \
CCFLAGS="-I../.. $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)"
LDFLAGS=-L$(top_srcdir)/src/libbtt/.libs
It seems to work fine...

Well, once I've checked it out and got my package building perl
stuff properly w/automake, I'll definately let you know what I've come up
with.
