morning lemon,, the only information i could find on whether to use libtool from ports, or let the port use its own is in http://www.openbsd.org/porttest.html
* build * Check whether the port is using libtool. If it is, try setting USE_LIBTOOL=Yes. This way, the ports infrastructure will use the libtool version in the tree, instead of libtool versions that come bundled with the software's source. the reasons are, however, not clear to me. i am working on a port of pdftex and i have noticed that when i have USE_LIBTOOL=Yes, one of the binaries after build is actually a wrapper shell script made by libtool. if i let the port use its own, the binary is there. -f -- always remember where you came from so you can return.
