LibTool 1.5 fixes cURL's libtool problem (was: someone to take over cURL maintenance?)

Just wanted to provide a quick update on this.
After the upstream maintainer upgraded to libtool 1.5 and repackaged
the source package, I no longer have the need to re-libtoolize.
So, my heartburn (for now) is gone ;-) And the next curl package
will be a bit smaller (no more big diff file anymore).
Thanks for the help!

Hmm. I'm not volunteering to maintain curl, but I did look into the
autotools problem. I couldn't reproduce any WinMain errors. My results were:
tar jxvf ... && cd curl-7.10.3 && ./reconf && ./configure && make
* libtool chose to build libcurl static only
tar jxvf ... && cd curl-7.10.3 && libtoolize -f -c
&& ./reconf && ./configure && make
* everything worked
