In the library linking case, certainly.  But what about the CFLAGS for
compiling client code, modversion, and the ability to embed other
variables e.g. plugin directory paths?  Those aren't catered for at
all by libtool .la files, and so if the two are to be merged, libtool
should support these additional features.
