I hit this problem once and created a patch for it, but it's non-trivial.
Even if libtool recognizes it as a LDFLAG, libtool does this deplibs
reversal to sort order or dependent libs and you start getting things like

gcc -o this.dylib ... Cocoa -framework ...

but it is possible. 

But is there a better solution maybe? CVS libtool (not sure about 1.4) has
a handy -Xlinker escape for linker flags. Maybe try:

libThis_la_LDFLAGS = -Xlinker -framework -Xlinker Cocoa

Curious, Frank
