I think that when we put that in, there were some older MSVC versions
that did no accept -out. May be remembering wrongly, though.
What about a libtool autoconf test for lib -out and if that fails use
lib /out? I'm tied up monday and tuesday, but I can try to write that
patch after that to test the concept.

Does
lib //OUT:.libs/liba.lib
work? Does anybody know whether doubling the slash can lead to problems
when used under Cygwin (I think they address shares that way)? Not that
the Cygwin/MSVC combo works with Libtool now...
Nope.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ lib //OUT:.libs/liba.lib

LIB : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '//OUT:.libs/liba.lib'; ignored
Thanks,
