That's a good idea, if we know the linker can find deplibs without
help, we should take advantage of that to shorten the link line!
Please add it to TODO.
Seconded (or thirded, or whoever also wants this).
On systems where deplibs are handled by the linker,
libtool should give the advantage back to the user.
IMVHO this is actually increasing the value of libtool,
because it allows the user to make use of the features
of the underlying system. Just let the docs explicitly
tell that the non-implicit dependencies on other systems
will lead to more work for the end-user there.
