	If the compilation and linking went ok then I would not expect
	an (bad) consequences.   On some systems (OS/X) libtool-1.5 was
	required to get the C++ based shared libraries to build.

	I wonder what is taking so long.  libtool-1.5 has been available for
	almost a year now.

	On the other hand it is not necessary to replace parts of the system
	(although I do it constantly).   Install the new version in a 
	different directory and then put that directory first in $PATH
	when you want to use the new version.   If the system's libtool is
	in /usr/bin then installing the new version into /usr/local/bin is
	safe and won't affect/overwrite the system version.

	The replacement's only necessary, in this case,  if you want to avoid 
	editing the generated Makefiles each time you run ./configure or
	./autogen.sh
