I just did the port of the set of patches you created for the Debian
package 1.0.5-2. I tested the current branch 1.1 of CVS on both sarge
and etch, and it seems to build correctly. (except for rlm_eap_peap
and rlm_eap_ttls)

I think libtool try to link rlm_eap_tls.so to rlm_eap_{peap,ttls}.so
but actually fails to do it because it can't find librlm_eap_tls.so
(with the "lib" prefix) in the *install* directory.

I don't know if we can work around this. More info on:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335890

Ok, I think we'll definitely leave that for later, after 1.1.0 has
been released.

It seems to me the changes in ltmain.sh are bugfix only, but I'm not
very sure of it. An other option is to back-port the newer autotools
version from CVS head, but it's a lot more of work...

Either way, it's a post-1.1.0 thing, too.
