Hi,

Yes, I can write my own automake rules.
But then I have to reverse engineer each automake version and add
AM_CFLAGS, AM_LDFLAGS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, target specific flags, or
anything automake generates.

I expected libtool to allow override these kind of settings... So I
proposed to add -soname argument. I think it is very simple and may
make live easier if needed.

But if you totally against adding this I will consider maintaining
specific automake rules.

Thanks!
Alon.
