I'm Cc:ing the libtool list.  Several people who use libtool on Cygwin
hang around on here, and may be able to comment usefully.  Incidentally,
with the impending libtool-2.0 and a recent gcc, performance on libtool
is surprisingly good (if a little slow due to fork characteristics on
Windows), so you might want to roll a new release with libtool-2.0 for
your Cygwin users when the time is right... :-)

Cheers,
        Gary.
