Hi Guido!  Thanks for your comments.

Like Ralf I find "linker script" rather confusing.  I'm not used
to think of libtool libraries as linker scripts.  I'm not
claiming it's incorrect, I'll trust you it is, yet I don't see
the need to mention it and risk a confusion.  

>From the Automake point of view it doesn't matters what a *.la
file consists of: it's just a realization of the libtool library
concept.

Similarly I'm not sure we should go so deep as mentioning the
.libs/_libs directories: this is an implementation detail of
Libtool.
