Re: libtoolize --ltdl copies old version of configure script

[Brent Goodrick]

Hi Raphaël,

Ok, I'm using libtool-1.4.3 libtool, and not libtool-1.4.2.

I don't know if I understand what you meant by "2.13-specific
feature".  That is because AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN is defined by libtool,
and not autoconf, correct?  

Or, is it that you mean that is is incorrect for libtool m4 code to
use "AC_PROVIDE_" inside a macro name because that is an
implementation detail of old autoconf's, namely autoconf-2.13?

Just in case it matters, this is with use with autoconf-2.57 and
automake-1.7.
