Um. Has anyone actually tried building the release tarball without  
swig around? I could give it a try because I hide swig in /opt,  
outside my path.

Since weiv has gnucash2 from fink, the gnu libtool (glibtool  
disguised fink's libtool14 package) should already be available. As  
long as /sw/bin is earlier in the path than /usr/bin, then when  
libtoolize gets called, it'll be the symlink in /sw/bin pointed at  
glibtoolize, that then should call glibtool accordingly.

So my first guess is: check your path for /sw/bin before /usr/bin.

Then make sure you haven't removed fink's libtool14 package.
