It would be nice to make the automake and libtool headache go away.
My suggestions would be to explore the use of alternative build tools.

I would recommend Perforce Software's 'jam' as a starting point. There
is an open source project which is cross-platform (Win32 and UNIXen)
build with it; gpstk, a toolkit for dealing with realtime GPS data and
calculations.

But of course the bigger problem, of static C++ constructors, has to
be dealt with somehow before shared libraries can be used for the bulk
of XORP's code base.
