Comment(by rsavoye):

 Libtool is reasonably mature, and well tested for building shared
 libraries, it's hard to build shared libraries on a large variety of
 platforms without it. It also builds DLLs correctly for mingw32, You can
 build only static libraries using the configure options of --disable-
 shared, or to get both, --enable-static. I can also tweak the libtool
 config to produce static libraries by default. It's still useful as it
 makes the Makefile.am support for building libraries clearer.
