Nope, there is clearly a ways to go (maybe just a little ways) until 
2.0.  It is clear that several projects need to volunteer to try using 
the development libtool so that there is real-world experience.  The 
libtool test suite is great, but it seems that some real-world issues 
crop up which are not covered by it.  I found the new documentation 
regarding incorporating libtool and libltdl to be a bit confusing, 
particularly since every libtool related statement from libtool 1.5 is 
replaced with new macros/syntax for libtool 2.0.
