Can I request that you temporarily downgrade your autoconf to a released

The new libtool may be more wonderful than pre-sliced bread (toasts
and butters, in addition to slicing), but it seems that CVS libtool's
cross-platform portability is currently at one of the lowest points in
memory. We need to get this puppy stabilized and tested across many
platforms/compilers since libtool is supposed to be cross-platform
portability software. Relatively simple issues like print/echo/grep
have been getting in the way of this testing.
As for myself, I have been negligent with testing/fixing libtool under
MinGW. Last I looked, it has become completely broken under MinGW and
can no longer even build libltdl. I will try to find time.
