Autoconf minimum version can be required with AC_PREREQ, its exact version is m4_defn([m4_PACKAGE_VERSION]). Automake minimum version can be required with AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. Libtool minimum version can be required with LT_PREREQ (starting from 2.2). To rule out earlier versions, you can see whether LT_PREREQ is defined: m4_ifdef([LT_PREREQ], [...]).
