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

Hopefully not.  Libtool-2.0 shouldn't require any change to users'
configure.ac or Makefile.am's, it should just offer new features and


I am severely confused. Doesn't libtool 2.0 require use of an entirely
different set of Autoconf macros than previous versions?

Nope.  There are a set of AU_DEFUN calls that will expand old libtool.m4
macro names using equivalent definitions from the new API.  If you choose
to run autoupdate, then configure.ac will be rewritten to the new API as
far as possible.

If that is the case, why was the documentation removed for the deprecated interfaces? Autoconf documents deprecated interfaces so libtool should too.

Autoupdate turns my configure.ac into a worthless lump. It should be renamed to autodestroy.
