Problem is.. what is libtool? 0=)
Well one of the reasons why I work on cygwin is just to learn... I guess 
it is time to do some google:libtool and go finding a FAQ/manual about it
(grrr, www.gnu.org is down... I hope libtool manual's mirror at 
www.delorie.com is fresh enough)

Whoa, 950kb instead of 9k patch?

Now I understand fully all those messages "relibtoolized source package" 
vs "libtoolize in the script"... I think I prefer the latter, the patch 
is much cleaner and the user that wants to rebuild the package just 
needs to install things, doesn't need any special knowledge.

I didn't notice about that, I am now restarting from scratch, using your 
advice.

I'll try after libungif.

Uh.. heard something like that... once or twice in the present message ;)

OK, I prepared the package using "aclocal && libtoolize --force" at the 
beginning of the "conf" phase.
Only difference from the past package is that instead of 
usr/bin/cygungif.dll it creates usr/bin/cygungif-4.dll, is this 
normal/expected?
