My plan is to eventually to get it to work with both. I know it should
currently work on MinGW, so i am starting there. I now have that going
correctly.

The next step is to look at the commands emitted by libtool while
compiling with MinGW, and using wrappers like wgcc or my own wrapper
scripts, to make them look enough like gcc/g++ that libtool can use the
wrappers to actually compile/link with MSVC using the same commands it
would usually use to compile/link with MinGW/gcc.

I have also been looking at the idea of a libtool native port for MSVC,
but that is not an option for the near term and may not be as desirable
anyway in my situation.
