Hmm, I didn't know (or remember) that. Do you know if these newer
versions of libtool accept .lo files that in fact are plain object
files? Or do they expect them to always be these short shell scripts?

I mean, it would be trivial to change the lt-compile-resource script
to simply produce the resource object file called under the .lo name.
