* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (hardcode_minusL): Fix typo by renaming
New in 1.0c:
* Bug fixes.
+* Change the libtool temporary directory from `.libs' to `_libs' in
+ order to cope with MS-DOS filenames. See README-alpha.
* New `-all-static' flag to prevent any dynamic linking. The regular
`-static' flag just prevents dynamic linking of libtool libraries.
* The `-rpath' flag can be used to hardcode absolute directories when
forums (such as GNU newsgroups), send them directly to the libtool
mailing list <bug-libtool@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.

+Automake
+********
+
+Between beta release 1.0b and 1.0c, libtool changed its private
+directory name from `.libs' to `_libs' in order to be compatible with
+MS-DOS filenames. This change allows libtool to run under the DJGPP
+build environment. Unfortunately, it also introduces a minor bug into
+Automake's `clean' rules for releases < 1.2a.
+
+This should not affect anybody else's programs unless you depend on
+libtool internals. If you do, and it isn't just for deleting
+unnecessary directories, then let me know so libtool can support the
+functionality you require.
+
+To fix Automake, edit libtool.am, and change the following lines:
+i.e.
+
+clean-libtool:
+ rm -rf .libs
+
+to:
+
+clean-libtool:
+ rm -rf _libs
+
+and reinstall Automake. If you've already installed Automake, you can
+make the same change in /usr/local/share/automake/libtool.am, to avoid
+having to reinstall.

make it easier to clean up the build directory, and to help ensure that
