correct.     (sorry, had problems in other tests before libtool-1.4)

anyway - the interesting thing is about "make install" and
prog:.libs/prog.exe:bin_PROGRAMS:bin_PROGRAMS:install-binPROGRAMS

currently it seems that the automake-rules assume the existance of
a prog.exe in the builddir, but it is not created in the current
libtoolized make-processing. The current builddir/prog `head` says

# pfe - temporary wrapper script for .libs/pfe.exe
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.4 (1.920 2001/04/24 23:26:18)
#
# The pfe program cannot be directly executed until all the libtool
# libraries that it depends on are installed.

from that I'd say libtool knows that CC has created a pfe.exe but
the automake-rules/vardefs expect a builddir/pfe.exe too. A copy
of builddir' pfe to pfe.exe does indeed work. Who's to blame,
libtool or automake?
