Re: How to install-libLTLIBRARIES dll to bin?

I understand; my point was that there is an existing assumption and my patch does nothing to change that. IOW having libtool put the DLL in a "different" bindir is actually a separate, unrelated issue.

   Why on earth would the --bindir= option even exist if there was no valid way
of ever using it?

You can use it; it still works fine with automake-controlled bin_* targets.
