Will these changes support multiple actual compilers for the same
language, or only aliases for the same compiler?  For example, a
Solaris user may use both GCC and Sun's commercial compiler and it
would be useful to for the installed libtool to support both.

Also, sometimes compilers support major modes.  For example, the same
compiler front end may support 32-bit and 64-bit compilation.  It is
possible that the compiler behaves sufficiently differently between
the two modes that it would be useful for libtool to be able to
support each as a separate tag.  Is this possible?
