Hey, at least you actually attached the patch and it was valid :-)

So a canonical form of:

LT_PREREQ([1.6])
LT_INIT_LIBTOOL([C C++], [disable-shared no-pic])

I've deliberately made the tags the first argument there, as I think
people are more likely to specify tags than options.

Or perhaps split it out a little further:

LT_PREREQ([1.6])
LT_LANG_SUPPORT([C C++])
LT_INIT_LIBTOOL([disable-shared no-pic])

Automake couldn't directly steal LT_LANG_SUPPORT or the first argument
though.  I'm quite determined that we should allow real language names
rather than just tags for it, just as Autoconf itself does.
