workaround for the expat problem

[paul beard]

I removed all the versions of libtool, and tried rebuilding expat but 
that didn't help. It would install libtool13 and I would get funky 
configure output and a failed install.

I then went into ${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2/work, removed the expat 
directory, re-extracted from the distfile, and ran configure, make and 
name install from there. That seemed to be OK, then I went back to 
${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2/ and did a make install 
WITH_PKG_REGISTER=1. That worked well enough to build gettext 0.13 with 
its dependency on libiconv. So all looks to be normal, or close to it.

If anyone has any ideas what this is all about and how best to cope 
with it going forward, I'd be grateful to know about it.

Thanks.
