i sort of have to agree with guenter here:
libtool is not really going to reduce the complexity of the build process,
because you will need platform-dependent flags anyway, as far as i
understand. and unnecessary complexity is pure evil..

why not find out what these flags are for each platform, 
(one time programming :) and pass them to the linker manually?
thomas' build system should have all the info.

the autotools are for portable programs across many unices.
pd and especially libraries and externals do not really fit that 
shoe (always) i think..

to make sure i'm not talking bullshit, can you post the libtool 
flags you need to do this on osx?
