AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS sets hardcode_libdir_flag_spec,
hardcode_libdir_flag_spec_ld and hardcode_libdir_separator.  Currently this
macro isn't designed to run outside AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and has some implicit
dependencies on other macros in libtool.m4 that we haven't analysed yet.  With
a little cleanup it shouldn't be difficult to pull it out into a separate
file, along with the macros it really needs, so that aclocal can do the right
thing.

Patches greatfully accepted.

Cheers,
	Gary.
