Sure, that's true.

There is a variance.

$ libtool --version                                                                                     
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4e (1.1162 2002/11/22 22:36:25)                                               

$ uname -a                                                                                              
MINGW32_NT-5.1 MOMS 1.0.11(0.46/3/2) 2004-04-30 18:55 i686 unknown                                      

With this version of libtool, it's ok that the .exe isn't there. My
question is, is this intentional?

Thanks,
