Yeah, I've been following that thread and have been hoping for progress
on the win32 front for a while.  Seems to me like the problem with
upgrading libtool is that it's an area that touches the entire tree, and
the libtool that's there now is highly customized/forked (from what I've
read) so it seems like a very thankless job.

There is no need for any special consideration to create a DLL with
modern libtool.  One just needs --enable-shared at configure and
-no-undefined in LDFLAGS.
