I've rebuilt it using the latest (cygwin-devel) libtool.  It seems fine 
-- passes all the tests.  It's packaged using "my" script mechanism, and 
only needs some Cygwin-specific documentation and prefix changed from 
/usr/local to /usr and it would be ready for inclusion in cygwin.

HOWEVER

I cannot support additional packages at this time(*).  I'm perfectly 
willing to hand the completed package over to someone else for 
maintainance -- as long as I can wash my hands of it.  I built it as a 
test of libtool -- but I do NOT want to support it.

Any volunteers?

(*) okay, *one* more -- pkgconfig -- is in the works.  but that's it.  I 
mean it. ;-)
