Other implementations
=====================

   Even before libtool was developed, many free software packages built
and installed their own shared libraries.  At first, these packages were
examined to avoid reinventing existing features.

   Now it is clear that none of these packages have documented the
details of shared library systems that libtool requires.  So, other
packages have been more or less abandoned as influences.
