Hello all,

These problems have been found and fixed by Michiel de Ruiter
(mdruiter AT cs DOT vu DOT nl) and later by me again and 
have been reported to the automake
mailing list but apparantly not to the libtool mailing list.

1) PROBLEM: libtool script generated by ltconfig contains mixed
            <CR><LF> and <CR> line endings and won't work.

   libtool is written in ltconfig{.in}:

        cat <<HERE > "$ofile"
        echo "tekst" > "$ofile"

   gives <cr><lf> on $ofile

        cat ltmain.sh >> "$ofile"

   gives <lf> on $ofile

   FIX: sed -e "" ltmain.sh >> "$ofile"

2) PROBLEM: configure thinks ln -s works for DJGPP.
   This is a problem with djgpp ln that does not make the
   softlink for ordinary files, but still returns a 0 exit code.

   This problem can be fixed in autoconf in the AC_PROG_LN_S macro.

   Under djgpp soft links work only for .exe files. ln (hard link)
   simply does a copy with is sufficient to make libtool work.

3) libtool with problems 1 and 2 fixed still doesn't work.
   due to NL2SP problem in ltmain

   use \015\012 \040\040 instead of \012 \040

libtool thus fixed passes all tests except cdemo-make.test

The diffs for ltmain.in and ltconfig.in are attached
