libttol and install script broken in xfce4

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi all,

What I'm currently doing:

- Upgrade to libtool 1.5 from GNU
- Use complete CURRENT:REVISION:AGE definition
  currently, libxfcegui4 was usign 0:24
  now, I'm using 0:25:0 (ugrading revision number at the same time)

Cheers,
Olivier.
