That's a libtool thing.  You can use automake without libtool, but I'm
glad we didn't - libtool got us working again on Cygwin.

Let libtool do the futzing/running:
"libtool --mode=execute gdb progname" or
"libtool --mode=execute valgrind progname"

Or for our examples setup, I typically just assume I'll be steadily
debugging, and I set:
"export LIBMESH_RUN='libtool --mode=execute gdb --args'"
