+* We need some mechanism to allow users to pass flags to the linker
+and/or to the compiler, when creating libtool archives.  We could
+recognize linker flags such as `-Wl,flag' and `-Xlinker flag' in
+libtool's command line, and passing them down to the linker, if "$wl"
+is `-Wl,', or stripping the `-Wl,' part if we're calling `ld'
+directly.  We could also introduce `-Wc,flag' and `-Xcompiler flag' to
+allow unrecognized flags to be passed to the compiler, after stripping
+by libtool.

 * Another form of convenience library, suggested by Alexandre Oliva,
 is to have undocumented utility libraries, where only the shared
 version is installed.
