Took another look at what's available in MacPorts.  I see two things
matching my search for libtool:

    libtool         devel/libtool       1.5.24   GNU Libtool ...
    libtool-devel   devel/libtool-devel 1.9f     The GNU Portable ...

Now I'm a little confused.  Seeing those version numbers over the
weekend I thought I would need 1.9f, it being a higher number than
1.5.  I will try switching back to the 1.5.24 version.  In your opinion
should the MacPorts folks even be advertising 1.9f in such a way that
would lead naive people like me to think that it was more recent than
1.5.24?

Thx,
