ok, ok, so you didn't contribute to that many. but libtool... wow, the
sheer annoyance and frustration built up in that package must be as hard
as 267 projects. just getting shared libs working across unicies,
across compilers, and across linkers. ugh. so the sheer amount of bug
reports, patches, dead ends, etc that you must have gone through
justifies this question:
c'mon, be honest - you type with your hands and feet don't you?
seriously, how do you deal with all the different systems? and does
libtool support c++ yet?
