Apart from the autoconf issues, while it's GCC policy that all changes to
the local libtool fork must have equivalents in libtool CVS first, that
means libtool CVS mainline - not 1.5 or 2.0 branches. If we move to one
of those release branches, we need to check a lot of local changes to see
whether they have equivalents on the release branch, and backport the
equivalents from mainline libtool if not.
