+Summary: GNU libtool - shared library support for source packages
+Name: libtool
+Version: 1.0
+Release: 1
+Copyright: GPL
+Group: Development/Build
+Source: ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/libtool-1.0.tar.gz
+BuildRoot: /tmp/libtool.root

+%description
+This is GNU libtool, a generic library support script.  Libtool hides

+To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your
+Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am.  See the documentation for
+details.
