Quite good idea, if this means the fixes will automagically work for
libtool for releases >= 1.5.X.  Things may be a little trickier with
older libtool versions, but I'm not sureif I'm qualified to suggest a
*real* fix for those thirdparty packages which depend on older libtool
versions.

There is already precedent for OS-specific and compiler-specific
options.  The 1.5.23a version includes already special support for
linking with -library=stlport4 and _excluding_ the -lCrun and -lCstd
libraries for Solaris programs compiled with Sun Studio ;-)
