Yes - Two.

a) The bunch of problems that libtool sets out to solve.
(most notably portable production of shared libraries)

b) The bunch of problems that libtool introduces
(mostly related to version numbering, I think)

Is a) significantly greater than b), or vice versa?

Well, that's exactly the question that I'm asking.
*Is* there a realistic alternative, or not?

That's an open question - I really don't know.
But it's one worth considering properly, IMO.
