This is GNU Libtool, a generic library support script. Libtool hides
the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable
interface.
To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your
Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am.

-Repocopy devel/libtool15 -> libtool22 and libltdl15 -> libltdl22.
-Update libtool and libltdl to 2.2.6a.
-Remove devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15.
-Fix ports build with libtool22/libltdl22.
-Bump ports that depend on libltdl22 due to shared library version change.
-Explain what to do update in the UPDATING.
It has been tested with GNOME2, XFCE4, KDE3, KDE4 and other many wm/desktop
and applications in the runtime.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.

I do not appreciate the attempt to play politics with the reassignment of
maintainership of these two files. I insist that further commits be run
through portmgr@ first.

* Correctly patch devel/libltdl15 with the upstream hack to
prevent eg: gnucash from taking several aeons to start up.
* Hack around the fact that the above then wants to call various
autotools to rebuild parts of the build infrastructure which,
depending on the ports installed can cause things to fail in
weird and wonderful ways.
Remove massive overheads from loading programs that use many
libtool-generated shared libraries by forcing libtool into understanding
that FreeBSD can correctly handle shared library dependencies.
This code already exists in the libtool CVS repository but without knowing
the release schedule (if any) for a new libtool 1.5.x series, and the
exceptional performance gains (gnucash for example uses 122 shared libraries
and with things rebuilt now starts up in ~10 seconds as opposed to 15
*minutes*). Further, a number of people have assisted in extensive testing
of this code in a series of different environments, so I am therefore
adding this patch to the tree.

The versioned autotools are now strictly for building other ports in the tree.
Likewise, the gnu- autotools are for runtime dependencies for IDEs, and others,
where unmodified cross-platform capabilities are desired.
All that we see or seem, is but a dream, within a dream.
Take back maintainership. I'll be scouring the PR database shortly,
if I miss any, or someone beats me to it, please feel free to reassign
appropriately.
Relinquish maintainership. I no longer have the time, energy,
or interest to look after these things any more.
To whomever picks these up, I salute you. I'll reset the relevant
PRs to ports-bugs in a couple of weeks if no-one has taken over
maintainership.
Farewell, autotool hell.
Repoint to known-good copies of libtool distfiles, prior to the FSF
ftp.gnu.org compromise and resultant trashing of lots of files.
Why they haven't gotten things back into a proper state yet is an
entirely different question.
