The libtool-2.4.6 source tarballs contain ._* files, which are
apparently Apple meta-data files.  These are binary files; they contain
strings like =E2=80=9CMac OS X=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Ccom.dropbox.attributes=
.=E2=80=9D

Not only does it make the tarball bigger, it looks unprofessional and
gives a poor image of the GNU Project IMO.

Could you please publish 2.4.7 tarballs that do not have this problem?

I wonder how these files got in the tarball in the first place.  I don=E2=
=80=99t
think GNU tar would silently include them, so I guess it must have been
Apple=E2=80=99s tar implementation or something like that?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
