That doesn't work:

- It's not sticky so it's not as good as a configure option.

- The /path/to/your/libtool that I want to use is the libtool script
  generated in the build directory but that no longer exists.
  (/usr/bin/libtool is not a solution because it's not the same as the
  script generated by running configure; it's no faster then the apr
  version.)

Instead of making --enable-experimental-libtool the default and
removing the alternative could you not simply have changed the default
and left the old code in place?

I don't expect APR to point at libtool; it's quite possible to build
against APR without using libtool.
