I understand that and I'm not blaming libtool. Unfortunately it seems
that hardly anyone reads the documentation and so they expect certain
behaviour. The naming of modules is an example. I am suggesting that
libtool adopt the principle of least surprises and make name.la -module
produce name.so wherever possible.
Is this unreasonable?
