Is there anyone working on this stuff ?

I'm asking because for porting kde2 I'm currently I'm working with a "after
configure patched" libtool and I'm very interessed to get a full working libtool for cygwin.
Perhaps I can give some
tip on working while working on the kde2 port.

BTW: libtool 1.4c does recognize c shared library support, but not for c++. I have looked for
this but can't find the reason, so this is only a note.
