There is some code I use in libtool for that very purpose (adapted from
code written by DJ Delorie for the next version of binutils).  Incase
you have trouble finding it (it is hidden inside the libtool script),
and for the benefit of the mail archives, I have extracted a copy and
attached.  This time for real... sorry folks.

Cheers,
