Don't know. Since this is for a Unix-style Makefile, I expect it
depends on Cygnus et al to compile system() and exec() in the Make
program into library calls which handle '#!'.

Eh, right. Sounds like the shell should be inserted in the LIBTOOL
definition itself then, without going via an LT_SHELL.
Which in turn would prevent people from running libtool with another
shell if the current shell breaks, if there is any reason to do that.
