I'm thinking perhaps an audit of the GNOME ports to determine which ones are still depending on older versions of libtool may be a good idea. There *may* still be a few cases where bumping the requested version to 15 does cause problems, but for the majority where it doesn't, it would be nice to remove this dependency on the older libtool. -- Conrad J.
