While nice in theory it doesn't really help us for any existing released
software. All apps ship with the libtool scripts in their source tree
and we absolutely don't want to be in the business of replacing the
existing libtool scripts in things we're building.
but may be can ask libtool people since i assume they don't even aware
this problem.
