Well, what is preventing the use of libtool with autoconf makefiles generat=
ed by Bakefile?

The bakefiles for wxWidgets, for example, have comments saying:

"<!-- FIXME: until libtool scheme is implemented in bakefile -->"

There's also this ticket (albiet from 5 years ago):
http://www.bakefile.org/ticket/94

"> Last, do you advise to use libtool+bakefile for a

Not possible yet."

It's not obvious to me *why* it's not possible.  What needs to be implement=
ed.  Can you please explain?

Bakefile replaces automake (except no maintaner mode), but I'm not sure how=
 it replaces libtool.  It looks to me like some custom bakefile code (as ev=
ident from the wxWidgets bakefiles) is required to replace libtool function=
ality on all platforms.

Actually, what I'm asking is how to use libtool with Bakefile generated Mak=
efiles (autoconf format specifically).  Is it as simple as including the pr=
oper libtool macros in configure.ac and supressing/adding some output from/=
to the autoconf Makefile?  Can it be worked around in the .bkl, or does it =
require some serious changes to the Bakefile core?

Thanks,
Stef
