Please get accustomed to not being in 2006 any more, and use LT_INIT and
LT_PREREQ from Libtool 2.2.x. Do NOT pass arguments to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL:
the API did not define them, which pretty much amounts to: we can extend
the API later to have them have some meaning. In fact, that has already
happened.
