Like I said, I no longer REALLY remember why I found this necessary; I'm 
just guessing at this point.  I really should been more proactive about 
submitting patches all along; that way these sorts of things would have 
been resolved (even rejected) while I still remembered why I did what I 
did and when I did it.

Yay!  Happy camper, me.

I guess you just manually update the appropriate files when you upgrade? 
 That may not be as simple as you like once libtool-2.0 hits the 
streets; there are several .m4 files that (sometimes, only if necessary) 
are copied into the project by libtoolize, incl. libtool.m4, ltdl.m4, 
argz.m4, lt~obsolete.m4, ...)
