You are right... I never tried this patch on Linux or other platform and
I don't know if it works... another option is to patch libtool in
configure...

I agree... uploading ftp, logging on SF, setting a file, save, setting
another file, saving, insert comment, ... very long process...

Yes, however usually users download files from website so website should
point to full-name, not to symlink.

How you update website?? Usually I use ftp... I use this program to
update my websites http://www.lyra.org/sitecopy/ it's very easy and
support WebDAV, ftp and shell.
