$echo undefined in libtool

[Davide Imbeni]

Hi Derek and Andreas,

Thanks for showing me the way.
No big issue, actually. I just need to scratch my svn directory every now
and then, obviously.
I re-downloaded everything in a new dir, and now it compiles smoothly.

The clue was, ltmain.sh included lines

PACKAGE=libtool
VERSION=1.5.26

and I had libtool 2.2.6 installed!

Thank you very much for your help!

Davide
