After some discussion with Nick, I'm actively working on this, but
instead of a separate package, I'm including "shlibtool" in the
libtool-base package.  I'm going to add a new pkgsrc make variable
"SHLIBTOOL_OVERRIDE" that is analogous to LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE and should
be set in the package Makefile.

Patches will be forthcoming.  Watch this space.
