Otherwise, we'll end up with the same patches in each of 50 ports which make use of a local copy of ltconfig/ltmain.sh and friends. Hopefully, most ports don't depend on custom hackery to their version, so we can just make the modifications once and have it just work. This seems to work okay for the ports I've tried it with.
