Hello Libtoolers,

I noticed that at least the last two distributions of libtool (2.4.5 and 2.4.6) contain 
"._*" files in the tarballs.  AFAICT these are from OS X's tar, which "uses 
AppleDouble files to store extended attributes and ACLs'.

These files are only meaningful on OS X, and don't seem like they should be 
distributed.  Probably not a huge deal, just thought I'd point it out.


This is a known issue and it is unlikely to happen again.
