That one is not a libtool clone, it's a real (GNU) libtool script.  It 
could just as well be a symlink to /usr/bin/libtool but you advised 
against that when I asked about it a year or two back ;)

It is definitely necessary to ship such a thing for httpd/apr, in any 
case; httpd modules can be built using a single command (for example, 
"apxs -c mod_foo.c"), and making that regenerate a new libtool script 
each invocation would be a waste of time.
