 FWIW git has a nice "git clean" command which can be used to avoid having
to ever do this. It's not a big deal but just another thing why dealing
with svn is so difficult after working with git: it's really, really crude.

 Sorry, it looks like the libtool warnings were not so harmless after all.
I didn't even realize it (because lmi_wx executable did work, after all),
but it has decided to create only static versions of the libraries because
of them.

 I'm looking at fixing this, but, as usual with libtool, nothing is easy
and so far I don't see how to do it. I don't know how urgent is this
problem considering that, once again, things do work even right now, but
I'll try to find a solution soon unless you tell me not to bother.
