In danger of repeating myself: "Welcome to aix-libtool hell"

This is the main reason why I do not use DESTDIR on aix in
prefix-launcher (aka. toolsbox).

We will see many packages having this problem, the next one will be
dev-libs/libxml2, a prerequisite of subversion.

They all have the same libtool problem, but I'm unsure if there is
already a fix out there - maybe libtool-1.5.23b ?

Grobian: while trying to 'elibtoolize' gettext, I had to apply attached
patch to eclass/libtool.eclass, based on my previous patch for
aix-dllhell.

This does not fix the gettext-problem, but a bug in libtool.eclass only.
