Okay, I've renamed the devel package:
libtool-devel-20010531-6
Again, it (and the others) are available at
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/testing/libtool/
The setup.hint files are appended below.
I still need some positive votes on this one....

libtool (wrappers):
================================
sdesc: "wrapper scripts for libtool-devel and libtool-stable"
ldesc: "GNU libtool is a generic library support script.
Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind
a consistent, portable interface.
libtool contains libtool-scripts-20010531, and is meant to be
installed alongside libtool-stable (which contains libtool-1.4.2)
and alongside libtool-devel (which contains a hacked
libtool-20010531). It exec's the appropriate version based on
target package heuristics."

libtool-devel
================================
sdesc: "A shared library generation tool"
ldesc: "GNU libtool is a generic library support script.
Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind
a consistent, portable interface.
libtool-devel contains a modified version of libtool from
cvs (20010531) and supports `transparent' dll-building using
the new auto-import functionality of binutils. libtool-devel
is meant to be installed alongside libtool-stable (which
contains libtool-1.4.2), and alongside the `libtool' package,
which contains wrapper scripts which call the appropriate
`real' libtool, stable or devel, based on target package
heuristics."
