Correct.  libtool13 and libtool14 are currently repo-copied placeholders for
a far-reaching libtool megapatch that is due to be tested on a 4-exp build
in the near future.

Once that has been done, devel/libtool will die permanently, libtool13 will
be 1.3.5, libtool14 will be 1.4.3, and since those awfully nice GNU folks
have just released libtool 1.5 (please, no PRs about this, I know about it
:), there will be another repocopy from libtool14 to libtool15 before
update.

The reason this is taking so long is that libtool is one of those ports on
which a substantial part of the entire ports tree depends, so breaking
things is generally a bad idea.
