The new libtool may be more wonderful than pre-sliced bread (toasts 
and butters, in addition to slicing), but it seems that CVS libtool's 
cross-platform portability is currently at one of the lowest points in 
memory.  We need to get this puppy stabilized and tested across many 
platforms/compilers since libtool is supposed to be cross-platform 
portability software.  Relatively simple issues like print/echo/grep 
have been getting in the way of this testing.

As for myself, I have been negligent with testing/fixing libtool under 
MinGW.  Last I looked, it has become completely broken under MinGW and 
can no longer even build libltdl.  I will try to find time.
