Normally upgrading libtool requires a somewhat package-dependent 
'bootstrap' (libtoolize --force) procedure.  Considerable care is 
sometimes required to make sure that all residue is removed since 
libtoolize updates or overwrites and does not remove residue (to best 
of my knowledge).  Even if it did remove residue, the residue might be 
ressurected by the source control system.  This means that care needs 
to be taken than m4 macros from older libtool are not accidentally 
included with the newer libtool and legacy ltmain.sh scripts are 
removed.  Automake may become confused if it sees legacy files 
present.
