[Bug 91480] allow to build shared libraries in bundled projects on Windows

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I think we're on the same page. I've, of course, applied
your patch, and do recognize the distinction.

I am saying that the native libwps _had_ support for building with msvc[*]
using configure/makefile. However that is no longer maintained. I had started
with libwps, but also tried other projects since wasn't sure what was specific
to it and what more generic.

Anyway, I think I know what to do. As I said, I need to wrap link.exe, which as
you say is used by libtool. I also found (after reading your feedback,) where
configure checks $LD to decide if shared linking is possible (line 13,918).
This means the first test to pass is to make the wrapper respond correctly to
configure's check.

Thanks again for your help. Will get back to you with progress (or issues).


[*] See line 15,766 in libwps's configure, for example, or search for "msvc" or
"mvs".
