We sorely need a libtool 1.4.3 -- autoconf is consistently being blamed for
its brokenness and in general its portability is flaky on some systems (like
Darwin).

I don't have the time and knowledge to propose myself for libtool
maintainership, but I can trust people that do have this knowledge and put
together the patched versions from various vendors (including Red Hat,
Debian, and Mandrake), and post them to the Autoconf and/or Libtool mailing
lists for public scrutiny.

If the maintainer (who is it? the GNU machines say it is co-maintained by
Alexandre Oliva, Gary V. Vaughan and Robert Boehne) says it's ok, then it
will be released as 1.4.3; if it cannot be the `official' libtool 1.4.3, at
least there will be a place to download a single amended version and people
will stop complaining to the wrong mailing list.

To contribute, please send me patches that you are using for libtool 1.4.2
