Dan, I'm not sure I understood exactly why libtool needs to be bundled
with Wget. I was under the impression that the purpose of libtool was
to facilitate _creating_ of libraries, which we don't do. If libtool
helps us link with a system library, that's nice, but IMHO an
overkill. Linking with existing libraries was never much of a
problem.
The configure process is now extended with a bunch of unnecessary
things (`gcc -no-rtti -no-exceptions'?), and there is an empty
`.libs/' directory, which is empty because we don't really need it.
Besides, bundling libtool is one more maintenance responsibility -- we
have to track maintainer releases and update it.
Is there a reason why libtool is needed that I'm missing?
