Ah thanks - the version with double-dash is more portable
obviously.

Remains the question why pkglibtool gets it wrong.
It is based on libtool-1.2. I've tried libtool-1.3.3 from
pkgsrc/devel, and it seems to dtrt.

So pardon my ignorance, but what is so special about pkglibtool?
Why is it separate, and why do we have to stick with that old
version?
