After I went to bed, I realized that this patch was not correct. It allows 
non-numeric strings in the version info, as long as the first digit is 
numeric. However the current code is only checking for 3 digits or less, so 
perhaps we simply need to change it to something like:

case $current in
        *[!0-9]*)
          $echo "$modename: CURRENT \`$current' is not a nonnegative integer" 
1>&2
          $echo "$modename: \`$vinfo' is not valid version information" 1>&2
        ;;
esac
etc... ?

Looks like this should just be:
linux*)
        lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all
        ;;

As you say. It is simply confusing to have stuff override stuff in there. It 
is in HEAD as well as branch-1-5. I'll remove it after work.


Thanks,
