- correctly override the libtool used by the build.
- patch-ao: rearrange linker arguments so that vm/vm.a pulls in the libraries.
- patch-ap: fix building of npsqueak browser plugin (use cc as compiler. add
.so suffix to plugin)
- for whatever reason the plugins are now installed with .a and .so suffixes.
adjust PLISTs accordingly.
I can now at least start the vm again.
This avoids error messages from "perllink" while deinstalling (or
updateing) a Perl module package.
Fixed based on an analysis provided by Steven Drake on "tech-pkg".

on the "pkgsrc-users" mailing list:
1.) Fix 64-Bit ABI check for Snow Leopard so it doesn't break the build
on older version of Mac OS X.
2.) Properly disable the "pyexpat" module and remove it from the
package list.
Bump package revision because of these changes.
