I know. To tell you the truth, a few months ago I started a patch changing ` to $lq and ' to $rq. Which would at least decrease the size of the patch for somebody who wants to change it. Then I decided it simply wasn't worth my time. I mean, there are people rightly complaining about _real_ bugs in Libtool. So, unless the other developers disagree, I'd probably accept a patch (against HEAD only) doing just that. But I clearly disagree with localizing libtool completely unless someone can point out a way to do it without incurring _any_ overhead (time & space) for those who don't want to use it (not even speaking about the enormous effort necessary for translating the documentation).
