Well, it's 1.5.2, which is the latest one. You should probably direct
all complaints to Monsanto Corporation, er I mean the libtool people.

         # Don't allow the user to place us outside of our expected
         # location b/c this prevents finding dependent libraries that
         # are installed to the same prefix.
         # At present, this check doesn't affect windows .dll's that
         # are installed into $libdir/../bin (currently, that works fine)
         # but it's something to keep an eye on.
         if test "$inst_prefix_dir" = "$destdir"; then
           $echo "$modename: error: cannot install \`$file' to a directory
not  ending in $libdir" 1>&2
           exit 1
         fi

One (sort of) way around this is to install with
DESTDIR=/usr/local/stow, but this makes things end up in
/usr/local/stow/usr/local/... Or use your own libtool.
