This has been fixed already on 2005-08-24, by an independent
bug report.

What version is this for?
I don't think it is wise or necessary to call the new
macro in configure.in/ac.  Since Libtool is going to
use the result the macro must be called by AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
and not elsewhere.

Version 2 of this patch renames the autoconf cache variable to 'lt_cv_prog_LN_SF', instead of 'ac_cv_prog_LN_SF'.

This patch detects support for the -f flag to the ln program, and, if available uses it when installing the links for libraries instead of rm -f'ing the original link.

This is important for our application, because we put our libraries on NFS mounts, and programs that use them are constantly starting up on many different machines.  Therefore, if we can make the period of time when there is no libfoo.so.# link as short as possible, the likelihood
of any program being started and not being able to find its library is minimized.
