libtool and autoconf

[Alexander Mai]

As reported (but never addressed) libtool 1.4 doesn't work
with autoconf 2.13 - at least not on all systems, alpha-linux
being an exception/example.

As for all auto* projects you manage all the time to avoid writing
at a prominent place in the docs which versions of the other
tools are required, I really wonder why?!?
All I could dig out is that libtool itself has some demands,
e.g. autoconf 2.5x but nothing about working with libtool itself?!

Since autoconf 2.5x won't be installed on my systems I tried
the libtool 1.4b version with autoconf 2.13. 
Unfortunately the number of errors is still increasing:

***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_LANG_PUSH
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_LANG_POP
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_LANG_PUSH
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_MSG_NOTICE
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_LANG_POP
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_LANG_PUSH
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_LANG_POP

So please finally fix or document this clearly visible(!) !
(and if there's a kind soul around please tell it to the
other auto* maintainers ;-)
Or just point me to the right place in the docs ...
