	From vvv@vsu.ru:
	* doc/fdl.texi (GNU Free Documentation License): contained @bye
	command which prevented part of document to be generated (indices,
	etc).
	* doc/libtool.texi (Dlpreopening): the @deftypevar did not contain
	a space after a type.

	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Was checking for residency of the
	wrong module.
	Reported by Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

	* ltmain.in (dlprefiles): Now that `2000-12-15 Utz-Uwe Haus' patch
	below can detect preopened library deplibs correctly in libltdl,
	we need to ensure that libtool library deplibs are also preloaded
	into the binary for that phase to work.

2000-12-16  Aneesh Kumar K.V  <kvaneesh@hotmail.com>

	* libtool.m4 (OSF/1): Change the way to pass linker flags through

2000-12-15  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): Rename
	`ac_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe' as `lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe'.
	Similarly with `lt_cv_global_symbol_to_cdecl
	(_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Similarly with `ac_cv_prog_cc_pic',

	s/ac_cv_prog_gcc/GCC/.

2000-12-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): Don't empty
	out ac_cv_global_symbol_to_cdecl inside the loop, incase we
	need to go around again and try with underscore prefix.
	(_LT_AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF): On some hosts (cygwin for instance)
	self dlclosing unloads the main program and causes a SIGSEGV.  So
	don't do it for now.

2000-12-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Oh My! Cygwin support has bitrotted while I was looking the other
	way.  This should fix it some:
	* libtool.m4 (extract_expsyms_cmds): There is a quoting problem
	with autoconf-2.13 that prevents [$]0 from expanding.  Use shell
	quotes instead to delay eval of $0.
	(impgen.c) The '# ' sequence stripped by sed works again.

2000-12-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface):  Add documentation.
	* libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlmakeresident, lt_dlisresident):  Add
	prototypes.
	(LT_DLERROR_CLOSE_RESIDENT_MODULE): New error status.
	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlmakeresident, lt_dlisresident):  Allow
	making and testing of resident module status, which prevents a
	module from being lt_dlclosed.
	(lt_dlopen):  If lt_dlopen()ing self, make the module resident.
	(lt_dlclose):  Return an error if the module is resident.

	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Move the tests for dlopen

2000-11-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen):  Change the default search order
	for modules.  If the named module has no directory component,
	always start the search with the user_search_path directories,
	and then fall back on the current directory only if that fails.

2000-11-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_LDFLAGS): increment the version
	number to reflect the breakage of binary compatibility.
	* doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface):  Document
	LT_NON_POSIX_NAMESPACE.
	* libltdl/ltdl.h (LT_POSIX_NAMESPACE):  Deleted.  The default is
	now to use this namespace, so the cpp macro is no longer
	necessary.

2000-11-20  Morten Eriksen  <mortene@sim.no>

	* ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL, AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): Break a circular
	dependency between AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE and AC_LTDL_DLSYM_USCORE.

2000-11-20  Paul Berrevoets  <paul@swi.com>

	* ltmain.in: Some versions of expr respond with "0" if a
	regexp fails to match.

2000-11-19  Paul Berrevoets  <paul@swi.com>

	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Quote the $ in $#, $2 and
	$3 in variable 'archive_expsym_cmds' for cygwin.

2000-11-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* ltdl.c: Relegate non-POSIX-compliant symbols (e.g. those
	ending in ``_t'') to deprecated #define compatibility macros.
	Also ease up on the namespace pollution, so that only ``lt_''
	and ``LT_'' prefixes are taken from the global namespace.
	* ltdl.h: ditto.

2000-11-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* ltdl.c: Reformatted.
	* ltdl.h: ditto.

2000-11-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): Use $ac_ext for conftest
	sourcefile.
	* libtool.m4: Use $ac_ext and $ac_objext respectively for conftest
	sources and objects.
	Reported by Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com>

	libtool manual.
	* doc/libtool.texi: Reference the new license.

2000-10-31  Morten Eriksen  <mortene@sim.no>

	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Quote argument to avoid
	error output from cygpath when $srcdir is empty.

2000-10-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* bootstrap:  rm Makefiles to prevent infinite loop during
	configure when libtool.m4 is newer than Makefile.

2000-10-31  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* libtool.m4: Adjust the copyright notice.
	Quote all the macro names when defined.
	Some minor formatting changes.
	(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC)
	(AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_STATIC, AM_PROG_LD, AM_PROG_NM):
	Don't use indir when useless.  Don't add trailing `dnl' either.

2000-10-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* doc/libtool.texi:  Corrected another attack of CRLF line
	endings.

2000-10-30  Ossama Othman  <ossama@debian.org>

	* libtool.m4 (archive_expsym_cmds): Fix typo where line was broken
	in the middle of an expression.

2000-10-30  Aneesh Kumar K.V <kvaneesh@hotmail.com>

	* libtool.m4 (archive_expsym_cmds):  Support for -export-symbol
	option on Tru64.

	* docs/libtool.texi: Added pointers to documentation
	of Hewlett-Packard, Compaq Tru64 and IBM AIX systems.

2000-10-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	From Bruce Korb <bkorb@cruzio.com>
	* ltmain.in (execute_dlfiles): Reduce obfuscation.

2000-09-30  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

	* libtool.m4 [netbsd*] (deplibs_check_method, file_magic_cmd,
	file_magic_test_file): Removed inappropriate duplicate
	definitions; these variables are set in AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD.

	* libtool.m4 (lt_cv_file_magic_cmd): Don't use '${MAGIC_CMD}' or
	'${OBJDUMP}'; Solaris' /bin/sh loses with `}' in cache files.
	(ac_cv_path_MAGIC_CMD): Renamed to lt_cv_path_MAGIC_CMD.

2000-09-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* libtool.m4 (MAGIC_CMD): Don't use MAGIC, since BSD versions of
	the file command use this environment variable to hold the
	location of the magic database.
	Reported by Marc Espie <Marc.Espie@liafa.jussieu.fr>

2000-09-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* doc/PLATFORMS: Updated.
	* demo/configure.in:  Revert to the `libtool --features' test.
	* Makefile.am (libtool):  This needs to rerun configure now that
	libtool is generated entirely by AC_PROG_LIBTOOL again.
	(ltconfig): Removed.
	(ltmain.sh):  Is now regenerated when ltmain.in changes.
	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Now does all of the work for
	generating libtool immediately in configure.in, rather than
	deferring part of the creation until config.status runs.

2000-09-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* bootstrap:  Backed out yesterdays patch which is no longer
	necessary.
	* Makefile.am (libtool): Reworked rule for regeneration of libtool,
	now that it is built entirely withing config.status.
	(libtoolize): Tidied for orthogonality with the other generation
	rules.
	(ltconfig):  This is now generated by AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, called from
	make by running config.status --recheck.
	(ltmain.sh): Moved primary generation of this file into here...
	* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): ...instead of here.
	* libtool.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS):  Write the config to ltconfig
	where it can be reused, rather than directly to libtool.
	* demo/configure.in:  libtool is no longer present immediately
	after AC_LIBTOOL_M4 has completed, so the tests now grep through
	ltconfig instead -- which *will* be present.

2000-09-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* TODO: Removed the item describing the change below, and added a
	similar item to remind us to change the ltdl.m4 macros again when
	_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK is divided into proper macros.
	* ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SNARF_CONFIG):  Removed.  No longet required
	now that ltconfig has migrated to libtool.m4.
	(AC_LTDL_SHLIBEXT): Require _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK.
	(AC_LTDL_SHLIBPATH): ditto.
	(AC_LTDL_SYSSEARCHPATH): ditto.

	* ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLPREOPEN): Require the libtool.m4 symbol_pipe
	macro.
	(AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): ditto.
	(AC_LTDL_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): Removed, since it is a duplicate
	of...
	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): ...this new
	macro, extracted from _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK.

	* ltdl.m4 (changequote): An audit of changequote and m4
	quote usage -- all changequotes have been removed, and some
	latent unquoted `[' and `]' bugs have been fixed.

	* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): ltmain.sh must be generated in the
	source tree since this is where it would be found in a freshly
	unrolled tarball.

	* configure.in: Replace `dnl' comments with `#' comments for
	more conformity with cvs autoconf.
	Removed emacs hack-local-variables, since there is now a
	proper Autoconf major mode.
	Removed a couple of changequote()s.

	* bootstrap (ltconfig): When bootstrapping libtool with a
	stock automake (i.e. without the README patch applied),
	references to ltconfig are manually removed from the generated
	Makefile.in files.

2000-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* doc/libtool.texi: Removes references to ltconfig, and a small
	amount of tidying up to compensate.

2000-09-15  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

	* libtool.m4 (netbsd): Improved support.

2000-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* ltmain.in (version_type): Use "-iface" as the windows
	versioning scheme, where iface is the number of the oldest
	interface supported.

2000-09-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	From Paul Sokolovsky <Paul.Sokolovsky@technologist.com>
	* libtool.m4 (pw32): Initial support for pw32, assuming that
	libtool's behaviour in this environment is identical to under
	cygwin.
	* ltmain.in (pw32): ditto.
	* NEWS: Updated.

	* libtool.m4 (changequote): An audit of changequote and m4
	quote usage -- all changequotes (except a few with non-nesting
	square brackets) have been removed.

	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST):  The bootstrap script should be
	distributed with libtool.

2000-09-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Oh man!  Third time lucky.
	I just discovered that '&' needs to be escaped inside
	AC_TRY_EVAL.

2000-09-12  Michael Matz  <matz@ifh.de>

	* ltmain.in:  Be careful about filenames with multiple `.'s in
	them when calculating file extensions.
	Reported by Joel Reed <jreed@support.ddiworld.com>

2000-09-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL):  Removed, as it was triggering a
	bug in Autoconf-2.13 AC_REQUIRE implementation which inserted
	some of the expanded tests too early in the generaated configure.
	(_AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): renamed to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, and defines
	itself to an empty expansion to prevent multiple expansions.
	configure.in (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Replaced by a call to
	AC_PROG_LIBTOOL now that the AC_REQUIRE bug has been worked
	around.

2000-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Forgot to escape the
	redirections inside AC_TRY_EVAL in the need_lc tests. Doh!

	libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Forgot to redirect the
	output of grep to /dev/null in the need_lc tests.

	configure.in (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL):  Using this in libtools own
	configure.in interacts badly with the AC_PROVIDE calls and
	results in several tests being inserted into configure too
	early.  Use AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP instead.

2000-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): The ltconfig.in code I
	ported from ltconfig.in was incomplete -- this is a backport
	of the missing code taken from the multi-language branch.

2000-09-07  Pavel Roskin  <proskin@gnu.org>

	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK):  Fixed incorrect use of
	changequote

2000-09-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* NEWS:  Updated.
	* TODO:  Add a reminder to get rid of ltconfig in mlb.
	* README: Until things even out, I have added a note and a
	patch to make the installed automake cooperate with the new
	ltconfig free libtool.

	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): with_gcc is only useful in
	ltmain.sh as it has not yet been set in libtool.m4.  Use
	$ac_cv_prog_gcc instead.

	* doc/PLATFORMS: Updated.

	* configure.in (AC_PROG_AWK): Removed -- no longer required by
	the build process.
	* lineno: ditto.

	* libtoolize.in (files): Don't try to install ltconfig -- it
	doesn't exist!!
	* bootstrap: Fake an ltconfig incase the installed automake
	calls an installed libtoolize (as part of its --add-missing
	process) which thinks ltconfig should be there.

	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Deleted a vital `;;'
	terminator from a case statement by mistake.

	* Makefile.am (ltmain.sh):  Make this depend on TSDEPS again
	so that the Changelog timestamp is used for ltmain.sh at `make
	dist' time.

2000-09-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	libtool.m4 now contains a version of the code that used to run
	from ltconfig, so that ltmain.sh and then libtool are
	generated at configure time.

	* Makefile.am:  Don't generate ltmain.sh or ltconfig anymore.
	* bootstrap: ltconfig is no more!
	* configure.in: Call AC_PROG_LIBTOOL directly.
	(AC_OUTPUT): Generate tmain.sh.
	* libtool.m4: Don't build an argument list for ltconfig.
	(_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK):  Refactoring of the former contents of
	ltconfig.in to take advantage of the m4 macros from autoconf.
	* ltmain.in: Don't do a version check against ltconfig.
	* tests/assign.test: Remove reference to ltconfig.
	* tests/hardcode.test: ditto.
	* tests/sh.test: ditto.

2000-09-05  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

	* depdemo/main.c: Support -alt.
	* tests/build-relink2.test: Try it.

	* ltconfig.in: Removed all references to what used to be
	hardcode_into_libs=all.  2000-09-03's patch was wrong.
	* ltmain.in: Likewise.
	* tests/build-relink.test, tests/build-relink2.test: Adjust.
	* mdemo/Makefile.am (lib_LTLIBRARIES): Move libsub.la before
	libfoo2.la, so that they're installed in the right order.

2000-09-04  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

	* tests/dryrun.test: Build libsub.la along with the object files,
	since it is needed by libfoo2.la.

	* mdemo/Makefile.am: Mark only libfoo2 as -no-undefined.
	Explicitly link it with libsub.la.

	* ltconfig.in (need_lc): Preserve allow_undefined_flag.

	* tests/*.test (CONFIG_SITE): Ultrix's /bin/sh fails on
	`. /dev/null'.  Set CONFIG_SITE to /dev/null/config/site, to make
	sure we pick a non-existent file.

	* Makefile.am (libtool, clibtool): Pass CONFIG_SHELL along with
	ECHO down to ltconfig.

	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, export_dynamic_flag_spec):
	Use ${wl}, not ${wlarc}.

	* ltmain.in (compile, need_lock): Don't create nor remove lock
	files in dry runs.

	* libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs): Don't append shlib_ext; use
	lt_dlopenext() instead.

	* ltmain.in (link -static): Don't add $link_static_flag; only
	-all-static should do that.
	* mdemo/configure.in: Revert part of the previous delta.

	* mdemo/configure.in: Don't use -static on AIX4.1.
	* mdemo/Makefile.am: Likewise.

2000-09-03  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

	* ltconfig.in: Get rid of hardcode_into_libs=all; use
	hardcode_into_libs=yes && shlibpath_overrides_runpath!=yes
	instead.
	[FreeBSD 3.[01]] (shlibpath_overrides_runpath): Set to no.
	* ltmain.in: Likewise.
	* tests/build-relink.test, tests/build-relink2.test: Adjust.

	* ltconfig.in: Likewise.

	* tests/mdemo-exec.test: Modify failure message.

	* ltmain.in (newdlprefiles): Use dlname if it's available and
	old_library isn't; use linklib only if dlname is not available.

	* ltconfig.in (enable_dlopen): Set to no when lt_cv_dlopen is no.

	* libtool.m4: Don't quote CONFIG_SHELL nor ORIGINAL_CONFIG_SHELL.
	Quote $@ properly so that the shell expands it, not m4.

	* libtool.m4: Don't quote SHELL when `re-exec'ing, so that SHELL
	can be `/path/to/shell -x'.

	* tests/quote.test: Move the match test out of case statements, to
	work around bug in /bin/sh of several OSs.

	* ltmain.in (variables_saved_for_relink): Attempt to unset them
	instead of setting them to an empty string.

2000-09-02  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

	* ltconfig.in [with_gnu_ld] (archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds)
	<solaris*, sysv5*, beos*>: Use compiler_flags instead of linker
	flags.
	Reported by Alex Hornby <alex@anvil.co.uk>

2000-09-02  Makoto Ishisone  <ishisone@sra.co.jp>

	* libtool.m4: Ignore Tru64's nm's complaint.

2000-09-02  Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

	* ltconfig.in: only load $cache_file if it's a regular file

2000-09-02  Assar Westerlund  <assar@sics.se>

	* ltconfig.in: Add back ranlib calls for static libraries if there
	is a ranlib.

2000-08-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Move the echo detection code to a macro in libtool.m4.  The code
	at the top ofltconfig.in is ugly, but will go away when the rest
	of ltconfig is migrated.

	* Makefile.am (libtool):  Pass the value of $ECHO to ltconfig as
	an environment variable.
	* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH): Quote the ECHO value
	correctly so that it inserts the correct code into configure.in
	suitably quoted for M4 expansion.  This code needs to be near
	the top of configure.in as it calls itself recursively, so I
	am using AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE (or simply NOTICE on CVS
	Autoconf).  The value of ECHO is also substitued into the
	Makefile to be used when Make calls ltconfig to generate
	libtool, so another layer of quotation is required for the
	Makefile.
	(AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP):  Use it.
	* ltconfig.in: Accept a value for ECHO from the environment, and
	carefully substitue for $0 if it is present in the ECHO value.
	Because ECHO was quoted for Make, when ltconfig is called by
	configure, it is overquoted, and one layer of quotes must be
	stripped.

2000-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* ltconfig.in (with_gcc):  Make the value of this option
	available to the generated libtool script.
	* ltmain.in (compile_command, finalize_command):  The native C
	and C++ compilers on IRIX require the -LANG:std in order to to
	compile correctly.   The same options should _not_ be passed
	through to gcc on IRIX, or at all on other architectures for
	backwards compatibility (among others).

2000-05-29  Steven M. Schultz <sms@moe.2bsd.com>
