cygwin static archives piecewise

[David Thompson]

I have a project that builds a large library. So big that it needs to 
do piecewise archiving on cygwin. Within cygwin, the command that is 
getting issued for building the static lib is:

LIB /OUT:library.lib $object_files

All is fine and dandy until it issues the next piece to be added and it issues:

LIB /OUT:library.lib $object_files2

The problem is, LIB /OUT is telling lib to replace the previous 
archived objects. Instead the two pieces should be:

LIB /OUT:library.lib $object_files
LIB library.lib $object_files2

This would append the $object_files2 to the archive. I looked at the 
generated libtool and the biggest problem is that /OUT:library.lib is 
part of the old_archive_cmds variable. So this needs to be broke up 
differently. Has this work already been fixed in CVS? Should I work 
on it?
