That depends on whether the entire libtoolize program (including
libtool-related files that libtoolize uses while it runs) have seen
copyrightable changes. If so, then 'libtoolize --version' should say
2005, even if the copyright date of libtoolize.m4sh itself is 2004.
In general, the output of "program --version" can be a copyright date
that is newer than the copyright date of the source file for the main
function of that program.
