[Gdal-dev] GDAL 1.3.2 Beta 2 Released

[William Kyngesburye]

Libtool config stuff is a bit deep for me also.  Do you have a  
libtool.m4 for GDAL 1.3.1 (I don't see one in the source)?  Or is  
this autoconfig thing for libtool part of what's new with libtool for  
1.3.2?  I could use an old libtool.m4 as a guide - I think I found  
the lines in there that should be changed, I just want to make sure.

I could also try looking at some other projects to see what they do.
