Here's a draft of the ARC FastTrack for libtool, which I plan to submit soon.
Comments welcome.

======================================================
GNU libtool
1. Summary
This fast-track introduces GNU libtool, version 1.5.22, into
the Solaris WOS.
Patch release binding is requested.
2. Discussion
Libtool is a utility that hides the complexity of using shared
libraries when developing software and is very commonly used by
developers of open-source software. It is often used in
conjunction with other "auto tools" such as automake and autoconf
to make it easier to build applications on different platforms.
The version proposed here is the latest stable version available.
Libtool is delivered as:
- Two command-line programs, libtool and libtoolize.
These scripts will be installed in /usr/bin.
- A shared-object library, libltdl, used to simplify dlopening
libraries and installed in /usr/lib
- A header file installed in /usr/include
- Two macros to be used by GNU Automake, installed in
/usr/share/aclocal/
- A user manual in Info format to be installed in
/usr/share/info/
- A number of private scripts and macros to be installed under
/usr/share/libtool/
A version of libtool was previously included in the Companion
CD. This proposal removes libtool from the CCD and integrates
it into the SFW consolidation.
