Desired feature

[Bob Friesenhahn]

It would be useful if Automake supported a set of options (e.g.
LDFLAGS) which are applied only when building libraries or when
building programs.  It is excessively painful to have to add
per-target _LDFLAGS options.  Perhaps there should be both 'LT' and
non-'LT' macro versions.

Certainly this can be accomplished by overriding Automake's standard
LINK and COMPILE definitions, but overriding standard definitions is
risky.
