+ * NEWS: Updated.
+ * TODO: Add a reminder to get rid of ltconfig in mlb.
+ * README: Until things even out, I have added a note and a
+ patch to make the installed automake cooperate with the new
+ ltconfig free libtool.
+
* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): with_gcc is only useful in
ltmain.sh as it has not yet been set in libtool.m4. Use
$ac_cv_prog_gcc instead.
NEWS - list of user-visible changes between releases of GNU Libtool
New in 1.3d: 2000-??-??; CVS version 1.3c, Libtool team:
+* ltconfig is no more. Generation of libtool happens directly from
+ the configure file.
* New -no-install flag to avoid the use of executable wrapper scripts.
* New --with-pic, -prefer-pic and -prefer-non-pic flags to control
the generation of PIC/non-PIC code.
the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable
interface.
+IMPORTANT:
+==========
+
+** Until the next release of automake, you should apply the patch at **
+** the end of this file to your installed automake script if you **
+** intend to use it in conjunction with this release of libtool. **
+
+
To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your
Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am. See the documentation for
details.
`1.3.4' is the fourth patch release after stable release `1.3';
`1.3b' is the first alpha release after stable release `1.3'.

In the near future:
********************
+* Port the migration of all code from ltconfig into libtool.m4 to the
+multi-language-branch, so that CVS automake can remove its references
+to ltconfig.
+
* Check whether the version of libtool.m4 is compatible with
ltconfig/ltmain.sh. Meanwhile, the recommended approach for
developers using automake is to insert libtool.m4 in acinclude.m4.
