Package maintainers are often confused about the meaning of LDFLAGS 
and LIBADD since they fail to read the documentation.  Proper use of 
LIBADD is very important.  Anything added to a per-library LDFLAGS is 
either directly in the Makefile.am or is produced by the configure 
script.  To the best of my knowledge, libtool does not generate 
per-library LDFLAGS.
