This fixes the bug where

would fail to update ltmain.sh and thus libtool.

This seems to more or less work with the make implementations of Solaris 10, AIX 4.3.3, FreeBSD 6, and of course GNU. More or less meaning: the config.status for a while, but eventually they will settle on something.

Are we actually any better off than we were before I removed stamp-vcl?

changes to ltmain.sh picked up by make...

If this puts us back where we were to start with, then it would be better to revert the stamp-vcl removal patch if we can't find a better way to have

        * Makefile.am (clean-ltmain-sh): Removed.
        (libtool, $(srcdir)/$(m4dir)/ltversion.m4)
        ($(srcdir)/$(auxdir)/ltmain.sh): Updated to not depend on any
        phony rules.  Test `$?' for prerequisites that should always
        cause us to update the target.  Fixes rebuilding rules, at the
        cost of sometimes updating too much with non-GNU make.

Cheers,
