The problem with a number of autotools is that they are
unsuitable for large projects which contain a huge number of
independent modules. We initially kicked out automake
because of that reason and furthermore don't recommend using
autoconf 2.50+ (slow, buggy and incomplete, albeit some nice
portability work has gone into it).
libtool.m4 is copied manually due to removing aclocal
(automake tool) from the build chain. I'm not aware of a
command to copy libtool.m4 itself.
If you want to propose modifications to the current build
chain, feel free to post a patch.
