For consistency, AM_LIBADD should be added as well.  And the new
variables should probably have semantics comparable to LIBS, LDADD,
and *_LIBADD, respectively.

It's been mentioned before: Automake currently does not use dlltool.
What would AM_DLLTOOLFLAGS be for then?  Support for it would be a null
change.  Just put $(AM_DLLTOOLFLAGS) into your self-written rules that
use dlltool, and there you have it: support for AM_DLLTOOLFLAGS!

Cheers,
