Re: GNU libtool-2.4.6 released [stable]

[Christian Rössel]

Dear Gary,

thanks for libtool-2.4.6!

I discovered some files in 
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz that IMO don't 
belong there. The filenames start with "._" (just do a 'find . -name 
"._*"') and seem to contain dropbox meta data.

Cheers,
Christian
