Well, an implementation that works automatically in some cases is better
than one that never works automatically.

Obviously it's always good to get rid of duplication of effort, so libtool
would be the best solution assuming someone has the time to figure out how
to integrate it.  An incomplete libtool solution is worse than not having
libtool at all (as discussed recently on the cyrus-sasl list), since if
libtool fails to do the right thing w.r.t. e.g. -R (as it does in the
current Cyrus SASL), it's harder than with a simple Makefile to figure out
how to get that -R passed down to the link commandline.

I guess the SASL addition may warrant a jump out of the '1.0.x's.  What do
others think?
