I believe this was mostly historical. First we had libtool. Then,
libtool was obsoleted in favor of libtool-stable and libtool-devel. Then
THOSE were obsoleted in favor of (new) libtool. Which was then
obsoleted in favor of libtool1.5 and (test only) libtool2.2. Which were
then obsoleted in favor of (yet once again) libtool.
Sounds silly, but it ccurred over seven or eight years, and at each
stage the decision -- taken in isolation -- made sense. Taken in
aggregate, I look really indecisive. <g>

I'm sure that's fine.
