libtool-next patch queue

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hi Gary,

I promised I would look at your patch queue for rewriting bootstrap.
You pushed it to the libtool-next branch, so let me go through the
patches in that queue in order (re-stating this so everybody is on the
same page here, some of the messages involved unfortunately went
off-list for completely unrelated reasons; apologies for that).

The patch queue goes from
   dd5b4f06557a4c5ec7b06d7814b95ecd63ab63b8^
to 0280c3687962199479258741cef4f32a2ccb8ffd

and for reference, I will just quote patches one by one here and/or
in followup mails, as appropriate.

The first three patches in the queue have previously been reviewed
already and their re-roll looks good to me.  I have merged these three
into master now:

The next patch needs fixes.  I'll followup.
