IMO the macros belong in autoconf, as autoconf is where folks are *using* the libraries and need the -R flag. I would not want to have to remember to update/install libtool someplace in order to get these macros. I don't want to tell folks who want to use the maintainer version of the NTP tree that they now also have to install libtool. NTP does not use libtool and I have no plans for it to do so. But wherever they end up, I'd prefer that they be integrated ASAP, as I want to use this for the next release of NTP. H -- > | This has already been discussed.
