     I see that /usr/ports/UPDATING describes an upgrade of devel/libtool15
and devel/libtldl15 to devel/libtool22 and devel/libtldl22, respectively.
Is this a good enough thing to do to justify the probable misery and risk
of disaster that would be necessary to get through it?  If so, I'll give it
a shot.  OTOH, I dread going through a trial like the perl5.8 to perl5.10
upgrade, which was really a pretty awful experience.
     Has anyone done this new upgrade and survived yet?
