Already fixed in the repository.  Please update again.

The problem is deepr than the cheap fix I committed.  libtool no
longer creates or uses an ltconfig, since I have moved all of that
functionality into libtool.m4 so that the tests can be written using
autoconf macros, rather than writing in raw shell.  Unfortunately,
automake hardcodes ltconfig (I had assumed it relied on libtoolize).

Should I commit the following to libtool as an ugly fix?

    $ echo "This file is intentionally blank" > ltconfig
    $ cvs add ltconfig
    $ clcommit
    
I fear that this will lead to a generation of packages which ship a
bogus ltconfig file...

Here is a patch to CVS automake to fix the problem properly.

Cheers,
        Gary.
