I didn't realise people where having problems, or I would have 
documented this information. Augmenting your notes, for completeness:

1. You don't need to fetch libtool from Fink. Look in /usr/bin, you 
already have (GNU) glibtool and glibtoolize along with libtool and 
libtoolize. All you need to do is make sure you set up symlinks to use 
the appropriate ones. I wasn't clear enough about this in my last e-mail.

For instance, for me, /usr/local/bin is higher on my $PATH than 
/usr/bin. So I just create symlinks to glibtool and glibtoolize as 
libtool and libtoolize in /usr/local/bin. This works as expected.

2.  You can configure it without --enable-shared=no (I do), if you just 
set dynamic library load paths as I hinted at earlier. I prefer doing 
this to static library compilation.
