Swapping ac_link after LT_INIT

[Thomas Jahns]

Hello,

when using libtool, it figures out most dependent libraries from installed .la 
files. So command-lines in Makefiles become nice and short, listing only direct 
dependencies. But for autoconf, link tests don't normally use libtool, so if the 
libraries are to be tested (and happen to be static, installed in non-standard 
places, whatever), various flags need to be passed to configure that later go 
unused.

From my point of view, the straight-forward way to proceed would be to redefine 
the various ac_link settings of CC/FC/CXX/F77, but it seems (after a cursory 
research on the web) no corresponding macro is part of libtool or autoconf.

Since the topic has already been discussed here[1], and a TeX Live maintainer 
proposed a solution used there, I was wondering what became of that?

Regards, Thomas
