Michael:

After a bit of deliberation I'm accepting this patch.  It seems that
you are NOT the only one with this problem, and the impact is relatively
minor.  Perhaps a bribe will hasten the process next time...  ;)  I'm
joking of course!

        From Michael Elizabeth Chastain <address@hidden>:
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN):  Set max_cmd_len
        to a maximum of 512Kb, as it seems some HPUX 11.0 systems
        have trouble with 1MB.
