Would it be possible to write a simple wrapper for libtool that simply 
called the MS compiler or linker?  Or does libtool do more than just 
call the compiler tools with the correct arguments?  I always thought 
that most of the complexity of libtool was so it could work with 
multiple compilers and platforms.
