    Apply a big libtool patch to allow porters to use the libtool installed by · 9e5632dd
    Joe Marcus Clarke authored
    the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port.  Ports that
    set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
    the included version.  To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
    USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER.  Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
    
    For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
    your Makefile:
    
    USE_LIBTOOL_VER=        15
    
    To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
    libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
    
    USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER=    15
    
    With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
    .la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
    delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).
