Comment (by ahf):

 I think it would be interesting to hear from sbs if the current code works
 for what you need to use it for?

 Is there a reason in our .gitignore file that we explicitly list the
 `*.lib` and `*.la` files and don't glob them like we do with `*.o` and
 `*.lo`?

 I think overall the patches in Nick's `libtool_hack` branch looks good.
 The above questions are the only ones I have so far.
