OK.  Good thing I reverted it then.

This patch is for Gentoo.  Even if you started using libtool 2.2, Gentoo
would have to support 1.5 until it is removed from Portage.  Do not worry
about it.

Alright, I will wait for the version bump so I can get Gambas updated for
Gentoo.  Once that bug is closed, I can look at the build system some more.
Good luck with development.
