libtool should have already installed the needed pieces into the 
distribution.  It won't be _your_ libtool, but the distributors (e.g. mine).
You do need libtool if you want to install from CVS, which is actually 
what I'd suggest you do, along with autoconf and automake.
Binaries are the preferred way to get stability, but of course we 
haven't provided Solaris binaries since back in the day.

In this case, Emacs isn't loading shared libraries itself, it is just 
running that `findImp' program in a subshell, iterating over all of the 
types & methods in Swarm.
