pkgsrc updated from anoncvs today (20040212).

>Description:

Yesterday I updated libtool (from yesterday's anoncvs) because
audit-packages said so, and now www/libwww won't compile, like this:

   cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/libwww/work/w3c-libwww-5.4.0;\
	/usr/pkg/bin/aclocal-1.4 &&  		\
	/usr/pkg/bin/automake-1.4 -i &&  	\
	/usr/pkg/bin/autoconf-2.13
   FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script

This appears to be because when aclocal-1.4 runs, it includes stuff
from /usr/pkg/share/aclocal/libtool.m4, which comes from the new
libtool, and this defines AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP like this:

	AC_DEFUN([AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP],
	[AC_PREREQ(2.50)dnl

This ends up in libwww's aclocal.m4, and then, of course,
autoconf-2.13 bombs out. (Needless to say, autoconf 2.59 doesn't work
with this package.)

I rebuilt automake14 and both autoconf213 and autoconf, just in case,
but, unsurprisingly, this didn't help. (I didn't rebuild libtool again
today, but cvs says it hasn't changed since yesterday.)

I imagine libwww isn't the only package affected, but who knows.

The libtool in question is 1.5.2nb2. pkg_info -b dumps follow:

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/libwww && make update

>Fix:

I don't know enough about auto* tools to fix it (and I don't want to),
but it looks like it's time to branch libtool the way automake and
autoconf have been. :(
