* Have libtoolize install `install-sh' if a newer version is available,
and/or Automake is not used.
+* Allow to specify linking some dependent libraries statically and some
+ dynamically, where possible.
+
+* Improve support for C++ with templates.

1.2. libtldl
------------
* Test everything:
- cross compile
- dirs with ~
+ - multiple input files
2.3. libtool
------------
* Filenames containing shell meta-characters are not properly handled
by libtool. Compiling a file named "a;b.c", for example, fails.
+ Especially `$' would be necessary for java programs.
* We could introduce a mechanism to allow for soname rewriting, to
ease multi-libc support. Installers could specify a prefix, suffix or
* Figure out how to make pkg-config aware of the information libtool
knows about libraries and their dependencies, and send a patch.
-* Support dlmopen dladdr1 and dlinfo in libltdl [I totally disagree with
- this one Ralf, libltdl is a portability library, none of these functions
- enhance portability in any way -- Peter]
-
* Generate a libtool.m4 from a bunch of individual files, one per
platform, to make the job of a "platform maintainer" easier and make
it easier to add new platforms.
