(I have a patch for this that I submitted to autoconf-patches many months ago; but it was ignored.)libtool, unfortunately, is quite broken. There is some bitrotted support for cl/lib. But as I understand it this was maimed as a side effect of improvements to gcc/win32 support. I have threatened in the past to fix this; unfortunately, I just haven't found the time.
There is the very, very cool cccl project: http://cccl.sourceforge.net/though I don't know whether it works with the free beer compilers from MS. It works quite well with autoqt and VC++ 6 in order to build our theorem prover and link the GUI to qt all from the same autotools build scripts we use under unix.
