.libs issue with cURL

[Robert Collins]

Kevin,

be aware, this may fail for you if you have automake 1.5 on your system.
(IIRC the correct issue).

Because automake also tried to 'fix' win32 paths, these two things get
tangled up :[.

The libtool I created is synced to what became automake 1.5, in terms of
.exe file extension handling.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that, and it still didn't work.

I was having a bit of trouble knowing if this was a libtool problem,
or an automake problem, etc... But I did just go check the libtool
mailing list, and sure'nough, there was a recently submitted patch
that fixed my problem. For the record, it's at:
