I don't think the tarball is the problem - configure doesn't test for
libtool that way, it's autogen.sh from CVS that is the problem.

I'd expect that this libtool is derived from BSD (it's in /usr/bin not
the /sw/bin from fink) I'd hope that we won't have the same problems on
BSD. Libtool does work on OSX, it just isn't easy to detect. I suppose
we could just assume that darwin always has libtool?
