Writing the dependencies into the files 'Makefile.am' is much easier because they are much shorter then `Makefile.in' files.. After that calling 'automake' will build all the 'Makefile.in'. And 'automake' knows how to use 'libtool'. There will be no need write rules to call 'libtool' by hand. What are the opinions about that? I have used automake and libtool for a long time and I would help to do the step.
