Bryon, It would be interesting to see how you set up the library dependencies to allow for parallel compiling, however as Erik suggested, we have made the decision not to use libtool. Part of the reasoning is that with C++ libs, you can get bit by C++'s name mangling if you build the lib with a different version of the compiler than you build the final app. People are running into this all the time with metakit and you get strange link failures. We did have everything libtoolized at one point and from a management it ended up being a lot more hassle than it's worth. The simgear/flightgear libs are so closely tied that you rally get little benefit from making the shared.
