Ok, will take care of this.

With kind of a kludge. I overwrote the shipped config/ltmain.sh with the one 
that comes with current libtool. Bad news is, this results in a big diff. I 
see two other possible fixes:
-  patch the original ltmain.sh
- manually rename lib*.0.0.0 to lib*.so.*

Which one is better?

I think so. Probably the user does not need to include headers in the 
subdirectories, just the "main" headers  (/usr/include/sundials/*.h).

ok.
