Well, before running autoreconf, I don't have one. But autoreconf calls 
libtoolize which adds the "m4" directory. Libtoolize also complains that 
I should add the directory. The problem is, as far as I can tell, 
aclocal is run a few times, including one time _before_ libtoolize.
Since the "m4" is specified, it fails.
So it is impossible to satisfy both aclocal and libtoolize (both run 
from within autoreconf)?
I thought, running autoreconf on a pristine package would do the right 
thing?
