Sauna, beer, mmmm, nice. It been too long...

I should mention that it wasn't yesterday that I tripped on this and
that I might misremember things, but here I go anyway...

I think that for at least one kind of library, Automake sets it up so
that Libtool creates the library but then makes updates to the lib
w/o consulting Libtool (i.e. invokes AR directly). Beware, you might
need to set *both* ARFLAGS and AR_FLAGS.

But as I indicated, I'm not 100% certain.

Cheers,
