Re: [swarm-hackers] That CDPATH issue

[Bill Northcott]

This is a libtool 2.x issue.  With libtool 1.5.x files got created as  
the configure script ran.  Libtool 2 leaves that all until the end  
which is why this has appeared.

I have no idea what that code was supposed to do, but I suspect it is  
redundant.

I have committed quite a few autotools fixes in the past 24 hours.
