Summary: Please update libtool scripts to support GNU/k*BSD

In the Debian bug report #342684 [1] it has been pointed out, that expat 2.0.1 shipped too old libtool scripts to support GNU/k*BSD. Please update them with the next release.

Message:
This is really imperative to fix (and I saw I patch had been submitted),
because I had to downgrade libtool to 1.5.x to even compile the latest CVS
version. In my experience with Linux, you need to upgrade at least every
two years or less and less software works, so it's going not going to be
long before the vast majority of users find getting the latest secure
version a major nuisance or perhaps even an impossibility.

Message:
I have already updated config.sub/guess to the most recent available
version.
I suggest we then use ltmain.sh and libtool.m4 from libtool 1.5.26 for the
next Expat release.

Message:
We updated to the latest version of the 1.x release of libtool. The
following files have been updated: config.sub, config.guess,
conftools/ltmain.sh, conftools/libtool.m4. Then configure has been
recreated.

Message:
According to the Debian bug report, it might be sufficient to update only
config.sub and config.guess.
If libtool needs to be updated as well (currently at 1.5.22), it seems
there is a big version jump from 1.5.x to 2.2.x necessary if going to the
most recent version. Any opinions on that?
