It is needed because the default behaviour on the non-Windows platforms is that all symbols are exported, and on Cygwin and mingw the same behaviour can be obtained by passing the option -Wl,--export-all-symbols to libtool --mode=link, but the MSVC linker does not support this option. Therefore libtool implements it (by default). Bruno
