Let's say you build a package that needs libthis and libthat. Is the idea
that after configure is run, LIBS="-lthis -lthat", and you use @LIBS@ in
the Makefile.am, or rather that after configure is run THIS_LIBS=-lthis,
THAT_LIBS=-lthat, and Makefile.am has address@hidden@ @THAT_LIBS@ ?

Also, what do you do about finding out whether the system needs -rpath or
not? libtool must know, but how can it tell me?

.. oh, and, what do you do about aclocal -I mym4dir? The automake doco
mentions setting ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I mym4dir, but how does that tie in
with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(mym4dir)?

Cheers,
