They were not intended to be incompatible, and also there is no port  
syntax for declaring a port incompatible with another. libtool1 was  
created when libtool was updated to version 2, so that software that  
is incompatible with libtool 2 can be switched to use the libtool1  
port instead.

jmr suggested we delete libtool1 since no ports use it at this time:

However, it was just created 3 months ago. I'm not sure we've yet  
discovered if there are ports that are incompatible with libtool 2.

Attached is a list of the 93 ports that depend on libtool, sorted in  
order of when the "version" line in the portfile was last updated  
(along with the script I used to created the unsorted list, which I  
then piped through "sort"). We should test the oldest ports (at the  
top of the list) to see if they work with libtool 2 before deciding  
to delete libtool1.
