Fabian,

Basically, yes, except that it is not that GNU libtool is a "more up-to-date" version, but rather that it is simply different from /usr/bin/libtool, which is Apple, not GNU.  /usr/bin/libtool has different options from GNU libtool, which is why I had to put in the hardcoded binary path.  The options used for Mac OS X libtool don't work with GNU libtool.

This change was made due to problem reports from users who had installed GNU libtool upstream from the Apple libtool in the executable path.
