I think it would be nice to have a library in the future with the cli
using it. The library can be useful for a GUI container management or a
container daemon manager.
But as we are not yet really clear where the frontier is between the
library api and the cli, I propose to keep removing the libtool for now
and when we reach a clear stable API for the library and the cli, let's
tag lxc with 1.0.0 and freeze this api (cli and lib) and put in place a
library version management.
In the meantime I tried to generate lxc with and without libtool, we are
two times faster :) useful when we are in development stage.
Time of autogen.sh + configure + make -j 2 on my laptop:
