There seems to indeed be something missing, but I don't know
if the following is what you are referring to, so I'm just
doing this report on the odd chance that it isn't...

It (crippled libtool script) still happens from time to
time. I *think* it happens when I do a change to e.g.
libtool.m4 and then forget to bootstrap and just run
configure in MSYS (where I don't have autotools). After
that, I get a borken libtool script. Simply trying to
bootstrap (in Cygwin) after such a mistake does not help,
but thanks to your patch I have figured out that touching
libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh followed by bootstrap does the
trick.

Cheers,
Peter
