Putting on my upstream libtool maintainer hat.

This is interesting because imagemagick seems to be using a development
version of gnu libtool, and it may have found a bug.

I don't happen to have MacPorts installed, but will attempt to reproduce
later.

If you feel like running (from the builddir):

/bin/sh ./libtool --debug   --mode=install /usr/bin/install
'utilities/convert'
'/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
.org_release_ports_graphics_ImageMagick/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/convert'
2>&1 > log

and sending me the (compressed) log file off list, it would be helpful.

Thanks,
Peter
