I already have libtool:
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.3.4-freebsd-ports (1.385.2.196 1999/12/07 21:47:57)

My platform is FreeBSD (4.7 = latest release), installed last week
with reasonably up-to-date software; but my libtool version is
1.3.4 rather than 1.4.3. Is that a typo of yours, or is the 3/4 swap
just a coincidence?

OK, done that, and then ran CVSMake:

---------------------------------------
$ ./CVSMake
#!/bin/sh -v
# These are the steps that must be done after a make maintainer-clean
# in order to ./configure this package.

libtoolize --force && \
aclocal && \
autoheader && \
automake -a -i && \
autoconf
libtoolize: `configure.in' does not exist
Try `libtoolize --help' for more information.
$
---------------------------------------

configure.in is indeed missing, but configure.ac is there (a
new libtool policy?). Does this mean my libtool version is too old?

Rob.

PS: "libtoolize --help" gives:
Usage: libtoolize [OPTION]...

Prepare a package to use libtool.

    --automake        work silently, and assume that Automake is in use
-c, --copy            copy files rather than symlinking them
    --debug           enable verbose shell tracing
-n, --dry-run         print commands rather than running them
-f, --force           replace existing files
    --help            display this message and exit
    --ltdl            install libltdl in a subdirectory
    --ltdl-tar        install the libltdl tarball
    --version         print version information and exit

You must `cd' to the top directory of your package before you run
`libtoolize'.
