Hrm, replying to myself, sign of a schizophrenic.  =)

It was also brought up that one of the reasons for having libtool 
understand namespaces is to have the ability to transition stuff that 
currently depends on flat namespaces to build, but doesn't know it.  
Making it an option would let us leave flat as the default, but provide 
the ability to work with package maintainers to get things building 
twolevel that can.
