Ah! forgot too..

Whilst on the subject of libtool, do you happen to know of any way
whereby you can force libtool to use relative paths (or facillitate
prefixed installs?)

Reason being is that when building binary packages, Ibuild in a
quarrantined directory so that I can check dependencies.  ie:

    ./configure --prefix=/tmp/epm-build/target/minc-${vers}  \
         --with-build-path=/tmp/epm-build/target/comb

Then I build the binry package from the prefix before synching the
result to the comb directory for building against (could use stow
here, but haven't got to it). Problem is, the .la file paths are now
all way of course.  I guss the other thing I could do is chroot for
the binary build, but chroot/fakeroot doesn't exist on all platforms.
:(

Thoughts?
