Gotta reinstate my shell account at the FSF, synchronize libltdl changes I've 
made for m4, add a feature to diagnose version mismatch between libtool.m4 and 
ltmain.sh, take advantage of aclocal-1.8's m4_include feature -- this will
reduce the distribution tarball size by 20-40% by my estimation.

Unless the Automake team release 1.8 very soon, I'd hope to have it done well 
inside a month behind the Automake release, with a beta a week or two before that.

I also think I know how to remove the double configure requirement in the 
libtool bootstrap, but that is a bonus feature that relies on some of the work 
above being done by someone other than me, and isn'ta requirement for a 1.6 
release.

Cheers,
        Gary.
