Re: Nicer compilation output with shave or automake1.11

[Matt Keenan <Matt Keenan Sun COM>]

Does shave have specific libtool version dependency ?

Reason I'm asking is that the default version shipped with
OpenSolaris is 1.5.22 (I know quite old), and shave does not
work out of the box, and will most likely have to be patched
out by default...
