The problem with this is (as I understand things) that a libtool
convenience library is by default static (i.e. it's just an "ar").  We
can't dynamically link that into the scanner.  If we build a shared
libtool convenience library (I think this is possible), then you have
the problem that you need to install it to the system for your app to
work.  In other words apps using GScript/GI would need to have
/usr/lib/myapp.so; this seems suboptimal.
