well, I guess they _did_ release the newer version of libtool, so I'm not
sure what the deal is. I put the libtool package that I was using at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/aix/usr_local_pkgs/libtool-base-1.5.tgz
Be aware that it's built to install into /usr/local instead of /usr/pkg,
so you'll need to be careful installing it. (or just extract it by hand)
I remember having to hack on the libtool script a bit, but I don't know
exactly what I did. I don't guarantee this tar file to do anything other
than take up space, but hopefully it'll help.
