Hi Santhosh,

I suggest writing your *_LTLIBRARIES with a comment in front, perhaps
with #> to differ between disabled and enabled libraries. Then using
grep(1) to extract the names and the same tools to extract the
dependencies. You can then use tsort(1) to topologically sort the
libraries and write the actual ${dir}_LTLIBRARIES to an included .am
file. Semantically, this is what I do. In reality, I wrote a preprocessor
for automake that does this, but I don't suggest using it, as it's beta
and very much tailored to my needs.

Cheers,
