They should probably make sure that aclocal.m4 and acinclude.m4 do not
contain a copy of libtool.m4, but an m4_include statement to the file
m4/libtool.m4.  And that the latter is in sync with ltmain.sh.

The eventual 2.0 release of Libtool will have more stringent checks to
ensure that ltmain.sh and the macro files are in sync.
