Do we really want all this crap in the README? Proper bug reporting
instructions would be a better use of this space, don't you agree? (just
copy from the instructions in HEAD's README?)

The notes about deficencies in specific platforms should probably stay in
the readme though.

Kind of thinking out loud:

Perhaps we should ask people to post to the list if libtool does not support
building shared libraries on their combination of platform/compiler/linker etc.

Do we need to "warn" people of any of the changes coming in 2.0?
