So that means that a user has to have Libtool installed (as a part of
Squid package or not) to compile Squid, right?

Does automake track dependencies between subdirectories? That is, does
it know which subdirectory must run "make all" first to build the
libraries and such needed by other directories?

Does automake track dependencies between sources of an executable
file? That is, can it order libraries and object files to avoid
order-dependent unresolved symbols?

Can Libtool/automake support non-GNU make programs?

Does Libtool/automake support C++?

Finally, can Libtool/automake support MS Windows natively (without
cygwin environment and such)?

Thank you,

Alex.
