1.1.2 is broken if you have closefrom()

OK, after a couple of days battling libtool and autoconf, I have this
working (on Solaris and Linux).  Questions:

1. Can I just check this into the 1.1.0 branch and then upintegrate
   to HEAD (later)?  It'll be easier that way for me.  Also, in
   consideration of the increasing complexity here, I'd suggest closing
   off 1.1 at this point, except for security fixes if there are any
   before 1.2 is available.  I don't see why 1.2 shouldn't start
   fresh from HEAD.

2. What is libltdl/ltdl.c#1.37 about?  Is there a bug that I can
   reproduce to see the problem?

3. CVS and branching is pitiful.  CVS is also otherwise not very good.
   I suggest p4 (it's free for open source use), but barring that, svn.
