Problem with AC_PROVIDE_xxx under autoconf 2.53

Hi,

I received this report from a GNU Smalltalk user and it seems like it is a
bug in libtool, triggered by newer versions of autoconf (the old version
uses 2.52, the new one uses 2.53).  The configure.ac file has
AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL.  It looks like the AC_PROVIDE mechanism has been moved
into M4SUGAR and the macros that AC_PROVIDE defines are named differently.

The simplest fix is to define AC_PROVIDE_AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL in
AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL and so on.  Is asking to release a 1.5 version with
this changes too much?

Here is the report:
