Bogus header in generated libtool script


From: Ian Lister
Subject: Bogus header in generated libtool script

`libtool' scripts created by libtool 1.4.x seem to contain bogus text in
the fourth line. Older scripts contained lines like this:

  # Generated automatically by ltconfig (GNU libtool 1.3.3 (1.385.2.181
1999/07/02 15:49:11))

and this:

  # Generated automatically by ltconfig - GNU libtool 1.0h

That text is constructed from a bunch of variables in the configure script
including PROGRAM, PACKAGE, VERSION, etc. In recent versions of libtool
and autoconf it comes out as something like:

  # Generated automatically by  (GNU libfoo 0.1a1)

That is, the package name used is that of the package being built, not of
libtool, and the program name is empty (leaving an extra space).

The line in question is generated from line 2487 of libtool.m4 in libtool
1.4.2, and line 3633 as of revision 1.279 (the current head). Hopefully
somebody with the appropriate familiarity can fix this easily enough.

Thanks,

Ian
