The main feature lacking from libtool is are the dependent libs. So far you 
really need to fill in a lot of dependencies in the libs section. And it 
doesn't really help too much if you have to define deps in bksys/ - that 
is only taking informations elsewhere - where it does not belong.

So I'm not talking about a full libtool replacement, but libtool like 
functionality. And having the .la files around proved useful before, so I 
guess we can use that format too.

The problem is, that this isn't really easy getting together with the platform 
independent linker stuff that is already in scons/bksys. And I can't motivate 
myself at the moment to try harder as the weather is so nice on weekends ;)

But as we speak about TODO: my main concern aren't the SCons files, but the 
configure part. That's what caused most problems in the past, so we should 
get _that_ one better and not worse (which it is now in quite some aspects).
