"--with-libtool" overrides (cancels the effect of) the other 3 models
("--with-shared", "--with-normal" and "--with-debug").  Checking with
your options, it seems that the parameter for --with-libtool is confusing
my script (it's not looking for a value, so "--with-libtool" gives a
value of "yes").  I can modify that.  For a workaround, if you set
$LIBTOOL to /usr/bin/glibtool, and use the "--with-libtool" option
(and discard "--with-shared"), it should work.

That's the version I'm using on this (Linux) system.  I just ran a build
against current code and it seems to produce the proper output (built
the ".la" files in lib/, and the libncurses++.a file also).
