Can anyone point me to a document explaining the general architecture of 'libtool', where it stores information, and where it takes information from, and how it interacts with 'pkg-config'?
Libtool does not interface with 'pkg-config' at all. Application configure scripts (based on Autoconf) may execute 'pkg-config' to obtain package configuration information. This configuration information is saved in the generated makefiles and configuration headers. Ultimately, some of this information is used by the compile/link/install steps, which libtool plays a role in. This is why you won't find mention of 'pkg-config' in the autoconf/automake/libtool documentation.
As far as where libtool stores information, it stores information in "library.la" files in order to include additional linkage information necessary to use the library properly.
