Can we *please* apply this patch to the libtool on icarus??  That would
make the lives of we httpd'ers sooooo much easier...

Thanks,
Cliff

Hm... The MacOSX Developer Tools come with GNU libtool (called glibtool but
buildconf knows about this) 1.3.5, which is almost functional. It needs one
little patch:

...to work on MacOS X 10.1 (Darwin 5.1 and onwards). Do this and one can
build Apache 2.0 with shared library support using nothing but Apple's
developer tools.

Libtool 1.4.2 is broken on MacOS X. It suffers from a quoting error in zsh
which is used as /bin/sh on MacOSX. This problem is addressed by Pier at

http://www.apache.org/~pier/macosx/Patches/libtool-1.4.2.patch.gz

But this requires a user-installed patch upon a user-installed libtool. I'm
in favour of the first option.
