Good, I would have been quite astonished to hear a diametrically opposed
opinion here.

The first thing I have noticed is that Fink uses its own ltconfig and
ltmain.sh. Probably for good reasons (I remember having quite a few
problems with libtool myself) -- what is the status of getting these
things supported? At least in my experience, two of the most common
things that do not work when trying to build packages "out of the box"
on Mac OS X are:

o not having "-flat_namespace" but having "-undefined (suppress|warning)" 
  instead of "-undefined error" or having undefined symbols (I think
  this is a libtool thing, since it by default sets "-undefined warning"
  but does not specify the namespace thing, therefore the default,
  -twolevel_namespace, is assumed)
o A strange bug in libtool 1.4.x that results in having duplicate 
  convenience libraries on the linker commandline (and therefore having
  multiply defined symbol errors when linking) -- I guess you've seen
  this before.

Having this fixed (and getting CPPFLAGS += "-no-cpp-precomp" on Darwin
into the default autoconf checks) would probably already improve things
greatly, don't you think?
