Hi Bob,

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.
Well said. I'm going to create a branch-2-0 for this release, and use
the tarball to test on the platforms I have access to. I'll also downgrade
to Autoconf-2.59 and Automake-1.9.2.
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.
Wow, that's bad! I gather that cygwin is in pretty good shape at the moment
too (when I revert Chucks last changeset ;-)
