Change info regarding LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE. Most packages need not define
this variable, since, as of revision 1.1404 of mk/bsd.pkg.mk, LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE is set to "libtool */libtool */*/libtool", which will suffice in most cases.

6.3 Using libtool on GNU packages that already support libtool

+Add USE_LIBTOOL=yes to the package Makefile. This will override the
+package's own libtool in most cases. For older libtool using packages,
+libtool is made by ltconfig script during the do-configure step; you can

+LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE specifies which libtool scripts, relative to WRKSRC, to
+override. By default, it is set to "libtool */libtool */*/libtool". If
+this does not match the location of the package's libtool script(s), set
+it as appropriate.
If you do not need *.a static libraries built and installed, then use
SHLIBTOOL_OVERRIDE instead.
