I have noticed this property of libtool before, and agree that it is
a misfeature. However, we're only supposed to install libtool changes
when they are approved by the libtool developers. Alexandre Oliva is
our usual liason to the libtool folks; he is a libtool expert.
Please send the patch to him, and to the libtool development team.
Thanks,
