You shouldn't need to install "libtool" just to compile and install
Ethereal (it didn't appear to be necessary when I tried it). It may be
necessary if you're going to do development, but the same applies to
"automake" and "autoconf" - we should document that somewhere, giving
the minimum versions required.
