Thanks Eric for the quick reply.
Good to know I am following a generally sound track. And yes, I did
run libtoolize and already had added the items in the output.
Another question comes to mind now.
Which of the macros :
AC_CANCAONICAL_SYSTEM
AC_CANONICAL_HOST
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD
AC_CANONICAL_TARGET
should one use in a configure.ac ?
Or should it be SYSTEM --or-- the triplet HOST/BUILD/TARGET ?
The configure.ac I am starting with used SYSTEM alone, and I added
the HOST macro too.
Thanks!

Yep, sounds fairly accurate. You may also need to run libtoolize to set
up the framework that libtool needs. You'll probably get better answers
from the libtool list, as this is more of a libtool usage question than
an autoconf question.
I thought it would be better to add libtool functionality via the
correct macros to configure.ac, rather than hack at the configure script
directly.
This part is absolutely true - you don't want to edit the generated
configure file, because those edits would be lost on the next run of
autoreconf.
