It covers wx's needs and wx runs on quite a lot Unices. Until
recently, libtool was less capable than what is in bakefile (OS X and
mingw come to mind) and even though 1.5 is much better in this
respect, it's still not perfect. There are certainly some platforms
where libtool works and bkl doesn't, but they should be rare and
easily fixed.
