So you have experience with libtool? Upstream's build system is a pain
to update, because TeXLive is a compilation, and it is put together from
a couple of up-upstream sources. Each uses their own hacks, and making
changes is hard, in particular when you don't have much knowledge of
internals of the respective tools (libtool in this case).
