ANNOUNCE: Libtool 1.4.2 released from stable branch

[Gary V. Vaughan]

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool 1.4.2, which now
builds correctly on Solaris again and diagnoses problematic
combinations of gcc and native ld.  There are also a small number of
incremental improvements and bugfixes since the last release.

This release was bootstrapped and tested with Automake 1.4-p5 and
Autoconf 2.13, but can be used in conjunction with any newer release
or either of these in your own projects.

Tarballs and both traditional and xdelta diffs against release 1.4.1 are
available now from ftp.gnu.org, and will soon arrive on all gnu mirrors:
