The current libtool CVS version handles win32 dlls quite well, and we'll
work through the remaining kinks over time. I'm a complete libtool novice,
and my last attempt at "libtoolizing" libstdc++ failed (ran aclocal per
libtoolize's suggestion and that screwed up aclocal.m4 macros).

If you want to stay with a release version, I'd pick 1.3b as opposed to
1.3.3 (or whatever the last real release was) at this time. With a newer
libtool that the current one in libstdc++, I should be able to get the
dlls working, especially with Gary Vaughan's help (Gary is Alexandre's
cohort in this).

Saw that, thanks!

I missed a few of the crash workarounds in bit/locale_facets.tcc, so
I'll send those out in a few days.
