Libtool Modules

These are libtool libraries meant to be dlopened. They are indicated to libtool by passing -module at link-time.

     pkglib_LTLIBRARIES = mymodule.la
     mymodule_la_SOURCES = doit.c
     mymodule_LDFLAGS = -module
     

Ordinarily, Automake requires that a Library's name starts with lib. However, when building a dynamically loadable module you might wish to use a "nonstandard" name.
