Nice, but please no shave and no dolt.

  - shave: deprecated by automake silent rules

  - dolt: mostly deprecated by libtool 2.2 [1]

[1] In our measurements on cairo, libtool 2.2 was still slower than dolt, but 
by a much narrower margin than libtool 1.5.  So, I strongly recommend against 
adding dolt if you don't have it already.  I'll remove it from cairo one of 
these days.  It's a 20-line shell script, but I had to fix two bugs in it with 
bash 2.x.  Gotta love autotools, generates 50000 lines of portable shell 
script per project.
