It shouldn't be supprizing that there was no libtool discussion on
this topic.  The libtool list is for discussions of libtool.  While
libtool does distribute a copies of the config.guess and config.sub
files, it is not otherwise responsible for them.

It does not look like libtool will serve a purpose at all for building
MSIL binaries and libraries.
