i wish that libtool tag patch was added to the official libtool package :/

the way we've been getting around the CXX/F77 cruft in Gentoo is:
m4_undefine([AC_PROG_CXX])
m4_defun([AC_PROG_CXX],[])
m4_undefine([AC_PROG_F77])
m4_defun([AC_PROG_F77],[])
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

the CXX check is especially annoying ... if you have a host which only has a C 
compiler and you try to build a library which is pure C, configure will abort 
because it cant find a C++ compiler even though none of the source is C++ !?
