At the moment, GTK+ does this in configure:

deplibs_check_method=`(./libtool --config; echo 'eval echo
$deplibs_check_method') | sh`
if test "x$deplibs_check_method" '!=' xpass_all || test "x$enable_static" = xyes
; then
...

Am I right in thinking that the first line can be removed, as initialising
libtool will have created and set the variable "deplibs_check_method"?  Was this
behaviour present in libtool 1.5?
