Thomas Tanner recently added some code to the CVS libtool which tries to
do this.  Currently it only works with linux (I believe), and I am
trying to port it to win32.

We hope to have this working for at least a few platforms before
libtool-1.3 is released (RSN).  You might want to wait for this to
happen, and use libtool to do the dirty work.

I would be interested to hear any experiences you have if you try this. 
The repository is at  
':pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.gnu.org:/gd/gnu/anoncvsroot'
and the password is blank.
