this has been brought up several times already. It is definitely the right
thing to do, the problem is (or at least was) that libtool doesn't support
recursive dynamic linking on all platforms. Anybody here know what the
current status of libtool is? (thinking of more "exotic" platforms like
linux on hppa, solaris, irix...)

the problem with depending on current libtool versions is that new libtool
versions only make their way very slowly into some distributions like
freebsd (where basically the whole ports tree depends on it)
