I gotta agree with the chorus of libtool advocates.  It will make your
life easier.   Also, what the big deal about a 3MB tarball if you
already require g++ to build Gnucap & it's plug-ins?

FWIW, most of the other tools in the gEDA Suite also use libtool for
build management, so it's not a burdensome additional dependency.
And I'm the one who *hates* dependencies!
