Hi all -
	I have some questions regarding any issues in upgrading libtool
from 1.3.4 to 1.4.x.  Here's my
story:

I want to play around with writing PHP modules.  This requires libtool
1.4.x.  A quick check of the ports gives me just devel/libtool whose
makefile says:

# This port has not been upgraded to 1.4 because it is used by about 30% of
# the ports collection, and more testing is needed.  If someone can supply a
# working patch then it will be upgraded.

Searching through gnats revealed to submissions regarding this, but since
they haven't been incorporated I'm a little curious as to why.


So.. my question is what's going to happy to me if I install the lastest
version of libtool?  Am I going to find that none (or rather 70%) of the
ports will build correctly?   Or should I install libtool-1.4.2 in a
different location and then modify the necessary places in PHP to look for
that?

Or???

Thanks all!
