Please Update libtool

[Hiroyuki OYAMA <oy...@cpan.org>]

Hi,
Please update 'libtool' attached to libapreq-1.0.tar.gz

I'm writing Apache module of C in the Mac OS X(Darwin5.5).
Since attached 'config.sub' and 'config.guess' of libtool are
old, the kind of OS cannot be recognized when a configure script
is performed.
ex)

% uname -a
Darwin pb.infoware.ne.jp 5.5 Darwin Kernel Version 5.5: Thu May 30 14:51:26 PDT 2002; root:xnu/xnu-201.42.3.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh powerpc
% ./configure --with-apache-includes=/usr/include/httpd
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... found

checking whether the C compiler (cc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one



Instead, if the comparatively new thing of Mac OS X attachment and the
newest libtool are used, it will recognize correctly.

Many thanks for the suggestion.  Is there anyone willing to
put together a tested patch to get libapreq-1.0 working on
OS X?  (Personally I don't use OS X, but if an OS X user is 
willing to work out the details I'd be happy to commit the 
changes to cvs.)
