Indeed, `libtool` vs `glibtool` and `libtoolize` vs `glibtoolize` appears
to be an age-old OSX issue:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15448582/installed-libtool-but-libtoolize-not-found

Although, from looking at freetype2's `autogen.sh`, it looks as if it
automatically sets the 'LIBTOOLIZE' environment variable to `glibtoolize`
if the OS is 'Darwinx' ('LIBTOOL' environment variable is not set, as I do
not think the script uses this command).

As the `autoconf` and `automake` commands appear valid, I am not sure how
to proceed.

Cheers,

Jeff.
