I've not had time to look into it much, but have built software on
Solaris that uses libtools and it mostly seems to work for the simple
cases, though *.la files need to be deleted everywhere they show up or
things get really broken.   Since rm *.la is so easy, I've never taken
the time to look into what they are supposed to do and what's going wrong.
