libtool support, intention to branch

[Christopher S. M. <br...@ma...>]

I think libtool is probably long overdue with the extent of libraries, 
supported platforms, and configuration options.  Especially if we're 
going down the route of adding dynamic library/plugin loading, that 
should necessitate a fair amount of build modifications for 
portability.  Requiring libtool would clean up the variety of the 
current build hacks and let us move towards autoconf 2.50+ as well.

I know this has come up several times before, but adding libtool would 
require much more modification than simply adding a configure.ac to the 
build.  Namely, all of the Makefile.am targets get changed to libtool 
targets.  So, if there are no serious objections, I'll test out a new 
build infrastructure implementation in a branch first for testing since 
it will take a while to stabilize the changes

Cheers!
