Currently, packages that install shared libraries and programs depending on
them with libtool don't comply with the GNU standards:
user$ make
user$ su bin
bin$ make install
doesn't work because during "make install", relinking needs write access to
.libs.
Here is a workaround: make .libs world-writable.
Paul Eggert noted that this presents a security leak. The real fix should
relink directly in the destination directories $(libdir) and $(bindir). But
it is a major modification of libtool...

* ltmain.sh: chmod 777 the .libs directory, so that "make install"
succeeds.
