Yes.  That's kinda ALL I've been working on for several months, what 
with autoconf/automake wrapper scripts, pushing and advocating the 
auto-import stuff, etc.  Geez, Ralf, you *know* this...

My current plan:
   build libtool 1.4.2 and call it 'libtool-stable' and install into 
/usr/autotool/stable (done).
   build libtool-1.4-robert-collins-hack and call it 'libtool-devel' and 
install into /usr/autotool/devel
   create wrapper package for libtoolize and libtool, call it 'libtool' 
and install into /usr/

   Then let that simmer while trying to forward port the robert-collins 
stuff into libtool-1.5pre (with Robert and Gary's help, hopefully...)

I will probably release all this stuff on my website first, before even 
making it available as an official 'test' release.  Robert's new "merge 
view of setup.ini's" will make this sort of thing easy.
