Fixed now, it's turns out that "the end of the week" is a bit ambiguous.

Now we've got another problem with libtool:

    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117063

I'm not sure what to do about this. Either we need to extract the first 
component of the provided command and that that it exists, or we need to add 
--mode=execute ourselfs, in which case "debugging shell" cannot be anything 
but libtool.
