  1a) Integrate Martin Banky's proposal so that packages using libtool
      2.2 can work without the need to autoreconfigure them.

And 1a).

So, I would suggest :

 *) Peter merges Martin Banky's set of patches on libtool
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-September/037505.html

 *) Lionel, could you propose a patch that just bumps libtool to 2.2 ?

Lionel, Martin, Peter, what do you think ?

Thanks,

Thomas
