Libtool is painfully, *painfully* slow, which is why use of it is
conditional in INN.  The approach that we're using required figuring out
what macros to call first, but it works well enough that I'll keep using
it until someone comes up with something better.  It's certainly better
than the speed hit from using libtool unconditionally.
