Problems with libtool and graphics/opendx; was: To all port maintainers: libtool

[Montgomery-Smith, Stephen]

I am trying to get the libtool changes to work with the port
graphics/opendx.  I made the changes:

Then when I do "make install" I got
pkg-static:
lstat(/usr/ports/graphics/opendx/work/stage/usr/local/dx/lib_freebsd/libDX.la):
No such file or directory
pkg-static:
lstat(/usr/ports/graphics/opendx/work/stage/usr/local/dx/lib_freebsd/libDX.so):
No such file or directory
pkg-static:
lstat(/usr/ports/graphics/opendx/work/stage/usr/local/dx/lib_freebsd/libDX.so.4):
No such file or directory
etc.

When I do "find . -name "libDX.*"", I get
./work/dx-4.4.4/src/exec/.libs/libDX.lai
./work/dx-4.4.4/src/exec/.libs/libDX.a
./work/dx-4.4.4/src/exec/.libs/libDX.la
./work/dx-4.4.4/src/exec/libDX.la
./work/stage/usr/local/dx/lib_freebsd/libDX.a
suggesting that the "*.so" files were never created.

Did I miss something?

The modifiers :keepla and :oldver don't seem to help.
