One of the things I ran into with my GLib stuff, is that libtool.m4 is rather
out-of-date with respect to MinGW. Fortunately, the cygwin sections are more
up-to-date, so its just a matter of borrowing or sharing cygwin cod for the most
part.

I attach a patch of my current tweaks to libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh. It is *only a
Work-in Progess*. I am posting it without cleanup as food for though in this
discussion.
