libtool is not used by the default CUPS build - you have to select it
manually (and we DO NOT support it, so basically don't bother unless
you have to...)

Anyways, CUPS 1.2 should build out-of-the-box on all versions of MacOS
X since 10.2.8 (that's what our oldest Mac is running) using the
standard developer tools installation.  Our nightly build farm
includes an Intel iMac system running with 10.4.5 and Xcode 2.2, and
it has not reported any problems building it (this same Mac is used
for the MacOS X packages on cups.org...)
