Maybe, but I'm not sure what happens when you 'ignore the libtool
bits'.  What I meant to say whas that I'd like to have the libtool
part of the patch in too, but that it makes the patch against 1.6.4
deceptively large.  That's because I updated to libtool CVS.

The new guile diffs against libtool, generated automagically in
libguile-ltdl/upstream, are more readable, because they are very
small.

The fact that guile 1.6.x is no longer a standard libtoolized package
(where the user can upgrade libtool with a single command if
necessary) but ships a modified copy that needs some work to upgrade
is what cost me most time.  But maybe I missed something.

Sorry for the confusion.
Greetings,
Jan.
