This worked great. Now when I run autoreconf -i, I get the following output: libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. libtoolize: `./ltmain.sh' is already up to date. libtoolize: You should add the contents of the following files to `aclocal.m4': libtoolize: `/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' libtoolize: `/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: `/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: `/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: `/usr/local/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4' libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. libtoolize: `./ltmain.sh' is already up to date. libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'. libtoolize: `m4/libtool.m4' is already up to date. libtoolize: `m4/ltoptions.m4' is already up to date. libtoolize: `m4/ltsugar.m4' is already up to date. libtoolize: `m4/ltversion.m4' is already up to date. libtoolize: `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' is already up to date. It's a bit chattier (as you mentioned) than it probably should be, but it works just fine. When I use just autoreconf, then all is well and quiet. I see now what you're talking about wrt libtoolize steering you toward a specific policy. Libtoolize appears to want you to use the "m4 directory" method, rather than the "copy everything into aclocal.m4" method. Actually, I don't mind this, now that I know about it. Perhaps a paragraph in the doc about it would help others...
