I have checked in changes to the CEDET repository for the following:

* shared objects for Make now use libtool by default.
* Found a set of arguments for C++ and libtool that seem to work.
* updated my tests to exercise this case for C++.

One caveat is that you can't mix libtool and other C++ targets code in
the same Project due to some pretty basic conflicts with the inference
rules created.

I'm also not sure about the C version.

In any case, any assistance folks can provide on how best to use libtool
in these cases would be appreciated, as I am not an expert in this area.

Thanks
