Yes, bad news indeed.

I have not been following libtool 1.6 development and do not know if it 
is likely to be released in the near future or in (say) a few months or 
longer. All assuming CVS is back up soon of course.

BTW, answering one of my own questions, the patch works as advertised 
for me when called as:

  AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS([])
  AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

although I'm still not exactly sure where the "proper" place is to put 
the patch at a system-level.
