We sorely need a libtool 1.4.3 -- autoconf is consistently being blamed for its brokenness and in general its portability is flaky on some systems (like Darwin).
I don't have the time and knowledge to propose myself for libtool maintainership, but I can trust people that do have this knowledge and put together the patched versions from various vendors (including Red Hat, Debian, and Mandrake), and post them to the Autoconf and/or Libtool mailing lists for public scrutiny. If the maintainer (who is it? the GNU machines say it is co-maintained by Alexandre Oliva, Gary V. Vaughan and Robert Boehne) says it's ok, then it will be released as 1.4.3; if it cannot be the `official' libtool 1.4.3, at least there will be a place to download a single amended version and people will stop complaining to the wrong mailing list. To contribute, please send me patches that you are using for libtool 1.4.2 at [EMAIL PROTECTED], CCing [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Paolo Bonzini
