I know.
To tell you the truth, a few months ago I started a patch changing ` to
$lq and ' to $rq. Which would at least decrease the size of the patch
for somebody who wants to change it.
Then I decided it simply wasn't worth my time. I mean, there are people
rightly complaining about _real_ bugs in Libtool.
So, unless the other developers disagree, I'd probably accept a patch
(against HEAD only) doing just that. But I clearly disagree with
localizing libtool completely unless someone can point out a way to do
it without incurring _any_ overhead (time & space) for those who don't
want to use it (not even speaking about the enormous effort necessary
for translating the documentation).
Cheers,
Ralf
