From chat commentary elsewhere, I was just pointed to the following in the
current bsd.pkg.mk:

.if defined(USE_LIBTOOL)
LIBTOOL=                ${LOCALBASE}/bin/libtool
# XXX: actually, here we would need something like
# BUILD_DEPENDS+=libtool>=1.3.5nb9:../../devel/libtool
.if make(install-run-depends) || make(fetch-list-recursive) ||
make(show-depends-dirs)
DEPENDS+=               libtool>=1.3.5nb9:../../devel/libtool
.endif
.endif

This is completely unacceptable.  It never should have been changed from a
BUILD_DEPENDS in the first place -- there is no reason that packages should
depend on libtool at runtime.

This needs to be changed back to BUILD_DEPENDS on
${LOCALBASE}/bin/libtool-VERSION, and the devel/libtool package needs to
create a symlink in ${PREFIX}/bin/libtool-VERSION for the dependency (and
add this to the libtool PLIST).

I don't want to stomp on someone's toes here, so will the appropriate person
please do the above?
