+slibtool is an independent reimplementation of the widely used libtool,
+written in C. slibtool is designed to be a clean, fast, easy-to-use.
+slibtool maintains compatibility with libtool in nearly every aspect of
+the tool's functionality as well as semantics, leaving out (or turning
+into a no-op) only a small number of features that are no longer needed
+on modern systems.
+
+This does not conflict with GNU libtool included with Slackware.
+
+To use slibtool instead of libtool export this to your environment.
+ export MAKEFLAGS='LIBTOOL=slibtool'
+
+Alternatively only shared or static libraries can be built.
+ export MAKEFLAGS='LIBTOOL=slibtool-shared'
+or
+ export MAKEFLAGS='LIBTOOL=slibtool-static'
