Kinda.  libtool-1.4(.2?) and earlier -- back to some indeterminate 
version -- supported building DLLs in a *nontransparent* way.  See the 
goat book for more info.  http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/

Uses dlltool/dllwrap internally.

Currently, R.Collins patched CVS mostly works, using the new tricks in 
gcc (-shared) and ld (auto-import/auto-export).  Doesn't use 
dlltool/dllwrap.  However, it's a fork from the 1.4 branch, 
pre-MLB-merge; therefore, it will take some effort to forward-port 
Robert's stuff to the current 1.5ish libtool CVS.

Gary Vaughan is on the case, and Robert and I are corresponding with him.
