Cool, I was going to suggest that.

According to tv, we should be able to update libtool to libtool-1.3.4
(and not glibtool-* ever again), and use that. The only problem
foreseen, will be that all the libtool packages will need to have the
".la" files added to their PLISTS. I could commit an update to the
package today, but IMO the churn should wait until after 1.4.2 is cut.
I've already offered to do it, but I don't want to be responsible for
breaking pkgsrc on the 1.4.2 CD!
