Care to post your hacks? :-)

Which is why Robert also implemented support for -input-file.  He
posted it to libtool-patches on Feb 23, I approved it on Mar 2.  I
don't know why he hasn't checked it in yet, but you may want to give
it a try.  I've been meaning to update libtool in the GCC tree, I was
just waiting for his patch to go in and for a new snapshot to do some
multi-platform testing of it.
