Maybe it looks so, but it is not so.
I never used FORCE_PKG_REGISTER and I performed
portupgrade -o devel/libtool22 libtool-1.5\*
portupgrade -o devel/libltdl22 libltdl-1.5\*
exactly as UPDATING suggested.

The date on the offending files was 26 Dec 2005.
This system is quite old and was continuously incrementally updated, so the files
must have been installed by some older version of libtool and never properly
cleaned up.
