come on Gary, libtool is supposed to make building libraries
more portable, but it is simply _broken_ for some systems at
any given time, because the libtool team simply does not have
the time to check that every change does not break on any
systems.  so you end up having someone who finds the brokenness
and sends in patches.

think about it.

you can either improve the interaction between pkg-confg and
libtool in a positive and constructive manner, or you can just
blame pkg-config.
