I'm not sure where you got this idea - IMP does not depend on 
libtool at all.  Horde/IMP are a set of PHP scripts, and as such,
only require PHP (with some modules installed, such as gettext,
imap, and optionally stuff like mcrypt, mysql, etc).

If you meet these PHP requirements, we've had successful installation
reports for everything from FreeBSD to Win98.

WOrks fine with PHP-4.0.6, but bear in mind that you need the
latest version of PEAR from PHP-cvs.  The version in PHP-4.0.7RC2
is sufficient, but you can install it by:

$ cd /usr/local/src/cvs/php4
$ ./buildconf
$ ./configure
$ cd pear
$ make install

So you are running a development version of IMP on a production
server?  Good luck :)
