59 GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides
60 the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent,
61 portable interface.
62
63 To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to
64 your Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am. See the
65 documentation for details.
