No it wasn't, because libtool was generated in a two stage process which
required
calling ./libtool --config directly.

I think you may be wrong. You can check the value of libtool variables
in configure for libtool > 1.4. In 1.3 and earlier there was a separate
ltconfig script which was run, so those variables were not available.
With 1.4 libtool's checks became part of the configure script itself, so
anything after AC_PROG_LIBTOOL can check the variables values.

ACK.  I just remember rewriting the whole thing many years ago, and then
not putting out a release for roughly the same amount of time :-D

With 2.x, of course, it is preferred to use the vars directly, creating
libtool just to check these is expensive and pointless.


+1

Cheers,
        Gary
