BTW, we would, eventually, need to support Linux' ioctls as well, to allow 
Linux executables to access firewire directly. We already do this for some 
hardware (RAID storage-controllers, for example)...

I'm willing to maintain our Makefile, if that means, the port can be built 
cleanly and without libtool. I don't think, we'll be bothering upstream with 
the patches to Makefile one way or the other :-)

Thanks again to both of you! I look forward to the usable libraw1394...
