Problem with ctm-src-cur

ctm-src-cur has stopped working in a rather unusual way.  What has
happened is that a file contrib/bind9/libtool.m4 was removed and
replaced by a directory contrib/bind9/libtool.m4.  The ctm program is
incapable of applying this patch that tries to do both at once.

This is obviously a bug with ctm, but it would require quite some effort
to fix.  Since this is the first time I have seen this happen since I
took over CTM production (I don't remember how many years ago), I will
create two CTM deltas.  One will remove the file.  The second will add
the directory.

By the way, is anyone using src-cur?  This problem happened four days
ago, and no-one has informed me of it yet.
