In the cases where a particular tool is truly inadequate our precedence |
| 12 |
has been to install a second version of the tool under a prefixed name |
| 13 |
(as with sed). In terms of libtoolize, Apple provides "glibtoolize" |
| 14 |
which AFAIK is the gnu equivalent. As far as I've seen it "sucks less" |
| 15 |
enough to be workable. |

| 17 |
The point is that in cases where tools just won't work for our purposes |
| 18 |
there are workarounds that do not involve overwriting the native tools |
| 19 |
that are expected by the system to be there. |
