That is correct. Apple's gcc does not ship a shared libstdc++ (although 
this may change with 10.3 and Apple's version of gcc-3.3 (when I built 
from apple darwin cvs I got a shared libstdc++). I was promised that 
10.3 would also include libtool-1.5, but who knows.

Any version of libtool < 1.5 will refuse to link a static archive into 
a shared library on darwin, this was "fixed" in 1.5 by setting the 
deplibs_check_method to pass_all.

What I've seen another project (gnucash) do is to append the entire 
contents of libtool.m4 to acinclude.m4 and check in a matching version 
of ltmain.sh to cvs. In their autogen script they run aclocal, 
automake, autoheader autoconf etc, but do not run libtoolize. This may 
also work for htdig.

libtool issues totally suck :(
