The libtool shell script is generated by configure. You don't need to
get anything. Try running ./configure in the expat directory, and see
if it creates a file called libtool.

how libtool works, don't worry about it. If you do, ask me, or read

Well, the host that Tom is running tinderbox on has Cygwin 1.1.8. You
might try upgrading that. Other than that, I'm not sure.
