Make this handle libraries of the form /dir/...s/libfoo.a. Submitted by: maintainer1ed324bc37
Submitted by: maintainer
He says:
Update libtool to 1.3.3 and modify it's behaviour a bit. It now
behaves like a stock libtool unless we start sending one of three
flags:
--disable-ltlibs Don't install .la files
--release-suffix Add the release to the end of all the libs (like
GLib/GTK+)
--release-ignore Don't add the release to any libs.

As threatened, enforce the "Capital, no period" rule. Ellipses are permitted. Note that, given current numeric motif of PW, this is done in four equally-sized commits of 393 files each.748713c3f6
Changes from maintainer:
1. Add a -prefix arguement to libtool, to find where the installed
copies of ltconfig and ltmain.sh reside.
2. Don't install the .la files unless --install-ltlibs is passed to
ltconfig.
3. Don't force linking with -lc, and allow -?thread to be passed to
the linker.
4. Don't build static libs if not using version numbers (for
plugins).
5. Install instead of
lib${release}.a lib.a
lib${release}.so lib.so
lib${release}.so.${ver} lib${release}.so.${ver}
to support multi-release installations.
6. Change version to "1.3-freebsd-ports" so people know who to
blame.
7. Misc fixes.
