stamp-vcl goes out of date after changes from cvs up (i.e the version
in the ChangeLog has changed), so it is a cheap way of saying you
want to force something to rebuild whenever changes have been imported
into the tree.  I added it originally because I wanted version.m4 to
be updated, but loads of stuff has a long chain of dependencies that
lead back to version.m4, so we can make those things depend on stamp-vcl
instead as an optimisation.

Short version:  Yes, your patch looks fine.  It says after importing
changes make sure ltmain.in is uptodate... and when we get round to
building ltmain.sh, make sure it is newer than ltmain.in.

Cheers,
    Gary.
