it seems that our libtool's pattern for matching shared libs doesn't like
'.' in the library name.  


[using the current pkgsrc libtool's matching]
# echo "/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so" | \
   sed 10q | egrep "/lib[^/\.]+(\.so|_pic\.a)$"

# echo "/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libgmodule.so" | \
   sed 10q | egrep "/lib[^/\.]+(\.so|_pic\.a)$"
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libgmodule.so

[using a more relaxed matching]
#  echo "/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so" | \
   sed 10q | egrep "/lib[^/]+(\.so|_pic\.a)$"
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so

is there anything obviously wrong with using the second version?  I hate
to touch libtool, but....
