Obviously, this patch can't go back to the "real" libtool because it 
turns off relinking for all platforms, not just cygwin.  I'm testing 
something related in the libtool-2.0pre baseline...stay tuned.

I recall this came up earlier but I can't find it in the archives.  What 
was my objection back then?  I'm sure someone objected, because 
otherwise it would have gone in; and I'm sure it was me, because nobody 
else cares about the libtool internals. :-)
