I've been blissfully trying to avoid libtool discussions but I have to
ask my standard question of "what about hybrid libraries which contain
import symbols and actual linkable objects, like the cygwin DLL".

I assume that this has been discussed but it's hard for me to believe
that any discussion would end with "We won't worry about them, then".
That seems to be counter to what libtool is all about.
