It doesn't work for me, after changing, it does.

It didn't work at first for me because I didn't have the "libtool-bin"
package installed.


I'm not sure I like the LIBTOOL_TRUE LIBTOOL_FALSE method of
switching.  Just generate one or the other?  Or maybe it is a good
idea, it enables editing of the generated file.

Since it looks like all libtool is doing is managing the version
numbers, I would like to see what it takes to just do it explicitly
without libtool.  I am not sure how main tracks the version.  It's
hidden.


Side note .. I see a script "gnucap" and an executable "gnucap.real" in
gnucap-uf.  It is simple and solves a known problem finding the right
library when installed (or not installed).
