Problems installing dependant libraries

Hi,
I have just come across the same problem raised in the thread "Library 
dependencies & make install" on the automake lists in January this year 
(<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-01/msg00145.html>) in a 
reasonably large project.

The last message in the thread from Alexandre Duret-Lutz suggests:
"Another idea is to split the installation procedure in two
steps: copy all libraries, and once it is done relink all
libraries.  Would that work?  If so, we need a way to tell
libtool to copy libraries without relinking."

I think the answer is yes, that would work. Are there any prospects of 
this being addressed?

Thanks,
Fred
