Do you use libtool? Then you want Dolt.

I saw a brief mention of this in the Mono 2.0 release notes (PS: Mono 2.0 is out, it also looks nice), but it seems important enough to bear repeating.
Dolt is a high performance replacement/wrapper for libtool. And when they say high performance, they’re not kidding; the release announcement shows full project compile times being cut in half. I don’t know whether to be elated at the speedup, or depressed that it took so long to do something so simple-looking. Either way, if you’re using libtool in your project, you really want to get yourself some Dolt action.

You could also, say, not use libtool. I know, I know, you lose Fortran 77 support, but I just clench my teeth and suffer through that hardship.
