If the page on my site does not explain this well enough then I would welcome
a suggestion about something that should be improved. 

The downloadable example on the 'Building C/C++ libraries...' page combines
libtool libraries from sub directories. The example on the 'Using autoconf and
automake...' page combines static libraries from sub directories into an
executable. It should take much more work to combine static libraries into one
static library. Although, I believe that there is some way that a libtool
library can be used to generate a static library.
