Agreed, Joseph. That's what we discussed. We just wanted to give the build/configure guys a day or two for the libtool update, not making that one more tricky in case it finally happened, while not waiting longer before fixing the release branch. So, technically you are absolutely right, and we'll close that window soon unless the wholesale libtool update happens earlier. Gerald
