The new project wizard is missing a template for an Autotools shared library project.

I am attaching a patch which adds said template.

Should autotools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.ui/templates/projecttemplates/AutotoolsSharedLibraryProject/template.properties really be Copyright IBM?

I won't speak to the rest of the template but I like the contribution.  Thanks!

Corrected copyright notice for AutotoolsSharedLibraryProject/template.properties, and did the same for AutotoolsSharedLibraryProject/template.xml and other minor fixes.

Thanks for the review

Add Autotools shared library template

ChangeLog file is missing so template does not work.

To execute sample program, I had to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the secret .libs directory.  It would be nice if this could be set up automatically for the project or at worst case, documented in the sample program source.

I take it there was no way to handle the output script name or have it runnable directly from Eclipse.

Minor comments:

You have "smaple" specified.

Not sure about what you meant to say with:
"User the name of the executable
+# with each non alpha-numeric character is eplaced by '_'"
