As a general rule; don't make assumptions about what libtool will
or won't do when applied to the GGI tree unless you have tested it
on at least 5 different OSes... Things are not as simple as they
might look when you are in a Linux/glibc environment.

It's probably time to update the libtool used by GGI libraries
though, to see if some more features we can use have appeared.

Because they are completely different?
