Well, if there wee anybody who'd use `conftest<something>' in their
sources, then:
- either it wasn't a directory, then `rm conftest*' would have already
killed it
- or it was a directory, then `./configure' would have already output
those bogus warnings.
Because of that, I consider `rm -rf conftest*' safe in situations where
we said `rm -f conftest*' before; only where Autoconf delimited removal
to more specific patterns does it make sense to still do so.
I have applied the Libtool patches.
Cheers, and thanks,
Ralf
