I can't think of a way to do it cleanly :-( But I have no objections in
principle. How much machinery is there to make the config.status parts
of AC_OUTPUT work? Maybe we can create an _LT_OUTPUT macro to generate
libtool at the end of LT_CONFIG?

It means that we no longer have to run configure twice, and cleans up the
the LT_INIT (nee AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) code path immensely. I really don't
want to go back to the old way of doing things... it was a mess. However,
there are certainly advantages to being able to call libtool from within
configure.

I was hoping that we would be able to factor the common lt_* variable
tests into new LT_* macros for people to use.

Seconded.
Sander, if you want to check whether a particular library is shared,
we should be able to write a macro for you to figure that out without
actually needing to roll and run an entire libtool script. Or is
there more to your problem than that?
Cheers,
Gary.
