John, you don't need to do this.  The kde-libtool patch is a hack to 
work around libtool not understanding frameworks, and not a real fix 
(hence why it's not sent upstream to libtool).  Peter O'Gorman is 
working on a real solution but it's not ready yet.

Also, sending tarballs pretty much guarantees the libtool folks won't 
accept it.  You want patches, with changelogs.  <grin>

We put a lot of thought into our defaults.  We like them.  If we
didn't, we would have made something else be the default.  So keep
your cotton-pickin' hands off our defaults.  Don't touch.  Consider
them mandatory.  "Mandatory defaults" has a nice ring to it.
