What I think is even a bigger disgrace, is that we haven't even added
the autotools fixes to our own packages in Ports. This means that people
running FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE with a binary libtool package will not be
able to generate future-proof source tarballs. This is not just a
10.0-bug, it's a bug in general.
