FreeHDL-LIBTOOL is used by the gvhdl program to link object files produced by the C++ compiler and (optionally) additional libraries (e.g. ieee) into a executable using the command line `freehdl-libtool --quiet --mode=link [OPTION]`.

Usually the user is not confronted with the use of this script, but it is necessary when writing a replacement script for the gvhdl program.
