This patch assumes that 'mt' is present, is what you think it is, and doesn't allow an override. On my GNU/Linux, mt is part of cpio and controls magnetic tapes. Is there possibility for similar confusion on w32, or want of choice of a different mt version? This should probably use AC_CHECK_TOOL or so for this, and an _LT_DECL, similar to how objdump, dlltool are handled in ltoptions.m4, but defaulting to ':' not false. Not that I can imagine anyone prefixing it with `$host-'. But it's probably prudent to check that it accepts -? or so (be sure to quote the ?). I'm assuming that we will rework manifest handling later again anyway, but for now it doesn't look like this can make things any worse other than above note. So, with that addressed, please repost and wait 72h before committing. Thanks, Ralf
