Hello, Gary!
The latest commit to the head brach in the libtool repository breaks
libtool. With autoconf-2.13 and automake-1.4 this looks like this:
automake: configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
automake: configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
automake: configure.in: installing `./missing'
automake: Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
automake: Makefile.am: installing `./COPYING'
doc/Makefile.am:4: installing `doc/mdate-sh'
doc/Makefile.am:4: installing `doc/texinfo.tex'
configure.in: 33: required file `../ltconfig' not found
With the CVS-current autoconf and automake the breakage is much worse:
configure.in:50: /usr/bin/m4: Bad regular expression `[\([`""]\)]': Unmatched ) or \)

I haven't investigated the problem in depth. It must be an incomplete
commit or something like that. I hope you will fix this promptly.
