Good, except that I'd prefer if argz_count used strlen instead of
walking the argz vector manually.  Little point in adding a suboptimal
algorithm if one can have speed (or smaller size) for free by using
a library function.

I'll change the name in Libtool after 2.2.  Maybe I'll even change it to
use gnulib-tool ...

Certainly.
