I'm having some difficulty with graphics/urt, apparently as
a result of libtool.

The build creates lots of executables (eg rlesplit) which it
installs in /usr/pkg/bin as expected.  However, it turns out
that these are just libtool-generated wrappers expecting
files like /usr/pkg/bin/.libs/rlesplit.new.  Now, it did
actually create those files during the build, but they
weren't installed by the package.

I modified urt a little to install the .libs files too, but
presumably the real problem is actually libtool.  What's the
right approach here?

I'm using libtool-1.4.20010219nb4 from pkgsrc via anoncvs,
under -current (1.5S) on a K6-2.
