not be universally true (but probably for most developers).
At least on 10.4 (i.e. Tiger), with Xcode installed, GNU libtool is included as /usr/bin/glibtool. Also, if you install GNU libtool via darwinports it installs as "glibtool" as well. The thing is, there already is a "libtool" on MacOS X - and it isn't the GNU kind:-) So as the script stood, it definitely didn't work. Now it will on a couple of more systems...:-)
Maybe there needs to be another configure script to figure out which automake/libtool et.c. to use (only half-joking here:-) on e.g. FreeBSD automake and it's friends are all installed as automakeXX, where XX is the version number). Writing portable UNIX software hasn't gotten better over the years, it's gotten worse:-(
