>Description:
	While building an application that depended upon some GNOME stuff,
	I was informed of a ``missing'' header, libintl.h.  Rather than try
	to sort out why it wasn't finding /usr/pkg/include/libintl.h, I
	just updated the gnome-libs.

	Part of that involved updating libtool and libtool-info.

	libtool-info failed with the following error:

cp: /usr/pkgsrc/devel/libtool-info/files/fdl.texi: No such file or directory

	...caused by the removal of libtool/files.  As far as I can tell,
	when the files/ directory was removed, the fdl.texi file was simply
	discarded.  Since the corresponding Makefile stuff wasn't also
	discarded, I assume that this was an error.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Update your pkgsrc, including removal of libtool-info/files/
	Try to update libtool-info via ``make update''.

>Fix:
	I simply deleted the post-extract: target in the libtool-info
	Makefile.  It now builds happily, though (according to the comment)
	it results in a buggy installed file.

	Again, since the files/fdl.texi file was deleted, but the Makefile
	wasn't changed, I assume that completely discarding fdl.texi was
	a MISTAKE.  To fix it, then, one needs to recover the original
	fdl.texi file.  Exactly where it best belongs, if the files/ dir
	is gone, isn't clear.  If the files/ dir isn't recreated for it,
	then the Makefile needs to know the new location of the file.
