I'm trying to use cygwin as the development platform for a Netscape server plugin 
(NSAPI) program that will eventually run on HP/UX. 

I'd like to use the autotools if possible to help with the platform-dependent make 
process.

I've hacked hsapi.h so that Windows & Unix features are no longer mutually exclusive, 
and all the example nsapi's shipped with their server compile fine.

I tried using libtool via automake, and it comes very close to building successfully. 
The final link step fails because it does not recognize that it needs to link to 
ns-httpd40.lib / ns-httpd40.dll for a shared data item. I can't seem to convince 
libtool/automake to include this file on the linker line. When I do a manual link step 
at this point, including ns-httpd40.dll on the command line, it works.

Should I even be trying to use libtool here? I'm trying to produce a Windows dll that 
needs to be linked against other windows dlls (ns-httpd40.dll, cygwin, etc.) Libtool 
doesn't seem to like windows file extensions -- dll, lib, etc.

If I don't use libtool, how can I do this with automake?

Thanks for any suggestions.
