May be is good libtool to preserve some variables from CONFIG_SITE file 
(libname_spec, soname_spec, etc ??? ) .

In was my case 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2007-07/msg00044.html .

It is similar to you case since I would like to be able to define name 
of library file on a particular platform(host), but I don't like to 
change library internal name (soname).
