We should use current CVS HEAD libtool. We definitely can't use 1.5
releases without *a lot* of auditing of local changes: we've allowed local
changes into GCC's libtool on the basis that there are equivalents in CVS
HEAD (this is the policy in codingconventions.html), to use 1.5 while
avoiding regressions would require auditing every local change since
libtool 1.5 branched to see if it's in 1.5.22.
