My Makefile work has operated on the assumption that we 
don't want the configure process updating makefiles in
every subdirectory to build in.  The configure process
does this by running many sed processes, which can take
quite some time, especially with a lot of subdirectories.
Libtool is well integrated with automake, which is geared 
for individual makefiles in each subdirectory.  If it's 
possible to use libtool independent of automake/configure,
I'm all about it.  Mostly, it's a wrapper around shared 
library construction details, for platform independence.
It looks like it could be useful.
