It appears the book is just out of date.  I need newer references.
It's definitely not ldconfig that's wanted, but a program that
configures a local copy of libtool itself.  Maybe it's now obsolete.
So I'm looking for a new reference.  All I've found so far is some
acrobat slides -- lots of them, but they have all the problems
inherent in slide presentations without a presenter.
