Hi Gary,

Well, I'm not sure that this need be done in the libtool-2.0 timeframe, 
however as you now appear to be on speed :-p, I'd suggest that this warning 
indeed accompany the next alpha, and your "best guess" for what should be 
the archive_cmds should be commented out in the correct section of 
libtool.m4. The commented out "best guess" could stay for libtool-2.0 final, 
but I'd lose the warnings.
