Now that is just asking for trouble =)O| I am using the latest
autoconf and automake .debs, and rolling my own libtool deb
occasionally, so upgrading to test this would be a PITA for me =(O|
Especially since I want to make sure libtool-1.4 will play nicely with
the current stable releases of these two.

Okay. That is a bug I can fix... committing now.

I am surprised that a difference in automake revision triggers this,
but hey-ho. Hopefully this latest patch fixes it for you?

That's correct. The MAGIC in Makefile is because of the
AC_SUBST(MAGIC) in configure.in, so that ltconfig can be called with
the correct value in the environment. libltdl doesn't bootstrap
ltconfig and has its own configure.in which doesn't AC_SUBST(MAGIC).
Cheers,
Gary.
