That's really a long time.  Note to everyone using libtool: if you have
patches which are generally useful, please post them here so we can
discuss and eventually incorporate them.

Having less different libtool versions floating around is better.
(/me also waves to Daniel Reed with a big "excuse me" for having let
work on the lib/lib64 issue slide.)

ACK.

Hmm.

Riccardo: could you be bothered to do so?  If you test libtool itself,
using 1.5.16 is fine.  If you decide to test a package that uses
libltdl, please wait for 1.5.18 or use branch-1-5 from CVS.

Of course, testing the other branches would be great as well, but please
wait for the next 2.0 alpha then.

Regards,
Ralf
