Hi all,

I have a `hello world' project written in C using the HEAD revisions of 
autoconf, automake and libtool.  When I run configure, it ends like this

creating libtool
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile

and everything is happy.

I have another `hello world' project, this one written in C++.  I use 
the same revisions of the GNU build tools and when I run configure, it 
ends like this:

checking dependency style of g++... gcc
./ltconfig: ./ltconfig: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool tag configuration failed

I've tracked things down to AC_LIBTOOL_CXX which tries to run ltconfig 
(which no longer exists after the recent merge into libtool.m4).  If I 
comment out the guts of the macro, everything configures, compiles, 
links and runs fine.  Is it fine?  I'm guessing that this is just a nook 
of libtool that just hasn't quite recovered from the demise of ltconfig. 
 Is that a correct assumption?  I see the same use of ltconfig in 
AC_LIBTOOL_GCJ, by the way.

I'm happy to contribute a patch which comments out the bulk of 
AC_LIBTOOL_CXX, though I seriously doubt that'd be the right way to 
handle this.  Is there a better way at the moment to handle this?

Dave
