I chose to use libtool for two specific reasons:
1) libtool is the generally recommended way of building non-static
libraries with automake.
2) Using libtool gives us interlibrary dependancies with the .la
files.
The fact that perhaps any posix might be supported and there's
slightly easier bootstrapping is just a nice add-on.
