Damn, you're fast. I just committed that. I was going to put up a tar
file after I finished a few more things and ask people to test. There
isn't a libtool on my RedHat system, or on Solaris, OpenBSD or SunOS.
I thought it was an Apple thing.
The easiest fix is to say "when on Rhapsody do this" but I'm trying to
wean nmh from the CANONICAL_SYSTEM stuff, which means. I guess I can
try to write a custom test for ranlib and fail to libtool only if
ranlib is broken. Except the ranlib on the mac isn't totally broken...
I'll see what I can figure out.
Or is libtool preferred on Debian, but with different options?
