Hmmm, thats back?  It was a "feature" of sane-1.0.19's libtool as well 
but the backend/Makefile would specifically delete it at end of 
"install" phase so it wasn't noticed. :-)

After upgrading ltmain.sh I hadn't noticed it being created anymore but 
I guess something must be tickling it.  Yesterday, I almost submitted 
that cleanup logic back into backend/Makfile to be safe but reverted it 
at the last minute.

I'll go ahead and add it back since it hurts nothing to have it there.

Yep, nice feature I think since they are backwards compatible.  I was 
seeing similar.
