Yes.

Yes.
You may search the archives of the libtool-patches mailing list for the
dozens of mails Peter Ekberg has written to support all of this nicely,
including static and shared libraries, the libtool part of "-c -o"
support, C++ source file names, flags for link.exe, detection of link.exe,
optional use of dumplib.exe instead of nm, almost everything
except for the tidbits that need to be changed in Automake.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to final testing and applying all
of his patches. I can't promise when I'll be able to do that, but I
certainly would like to see it applied; all I definitely want to avoid
is any regressions for other systems (non-MSVC w32, or non-w32). Nobody
else has stepped in either to do it. Free time is limited.
Cheers,
Ralf
