It is true that the Makefile.am patch is unnecessary, except to quiet a warning 
given by libtoolize.  IIRC, newer versions of automake will know to scan 
configure.[in|ac] for m4 subdirectories, but, older versions of automake do 
not.  Yet, there are probably no systems with old automake and new libtool.
