lftp 2.6.10 linking against the gettext libraries on HP-UX. Because
the author used $(INTLLIBS) instead of $(LTLIBINTL), he got the .sl
versions of the gettext libraries. I fixed it on the 1.5 branch but I
just hacked together a solution for now.

I'd send you a diff of my ltmain.in but savannah is still down :(
