Well, ummm... thankyou!
But perhaps I should remove/fix some of the work-in-progress comments in there?
Like "Let's try this...". I did say "work-in-progress", intending to tidy up and
document reasons for the changes before submitting for checkin.
Also, since that patch is the first ever time I have looked at the libtool
source, I would appreciate scrutiny from the libtool side. Whilst almost
everything I've touched is inside mingw/cygwin conditionals, I should mention
that I do not know anything about writing portable Bourne shell.
There is one major decision that needs to be made: Keep or remove support for
old versions of the mingw toolchain.
All the -mdll stuff is deprecated in favour of gcc -shared now.
Option 1) Remove support pre "gcc -shared" toolchains
Pro: simplifies maintenance.
Con: might upset some people.
Option 2) Keep support for old syntax toolchains
Pro: does anyone actually use non-current mingw?
Con: Messy & probably not often tested now.
Max.
