Re: libtool, how should the version be parsed?

Thanks for all the info.  I learned something new.

As for the old version, that's just a requirement, libtool 1.4 or
newer... but since the autoconf script complains it must have taken the
1.3.x as version... yes, it does:

$ libtoolize --version | sed 's/^[^0-9]*\([0-9].[0-9.]*\).*/\1/'
1.3081
2003

2009
...

Weird, its looking for the first number, must be as confused as I am, I
can understand if something is version X and part of say coreutils
version Y, but libtool X being part of "GNU libtool" Y?
