dvipdfmx changes it's behavior depending on the program name
it was called, e.g., it behaves as extractbb when "xdvipdfmx.exe"
is called through the wrapper "extractbb.exe".
Right, thanks. I know. As do lots of other programs: cjkutils,
omegafonts, dvipng/dvigif, etc.
Ah. omegafonts is done in just the same way as dvipdfmx, with
call_omfonts instead of call_xdvipdfmx. (The others are done
differently.) I suppose peb ending up implementing both those cases.
Anyway, I guess anyone using the Automake Makefile.am etc. also has
Libtool, so there's no problem applying the proposed libtool install
patch. (And I guess I should apply it in omegafonts, too.)
That is, the generic w32 build doesn't have libtool (as far as I know),
but also doesn't use the Makefile.am, so ... all works out. Akira, any
other Windows builders, does it seem problematic to you? --thanks, karl.
