If you mean "does my module use automake?", the answer is no; I call 
libtool directly from my own Makefile.  I'm not sure what Apache does itself.
Is the libtool command-line syntax considered an internal interface 
between automake and libtool, or should I expect to be able to use it independently?

OK.  The current online docs are for 1.5.22.  I'll be patient.


Does anyone have any thoughts about whether Apache could have done 
something in their setup of libtool so that it would "just work"?  
(Bear in mind that they don't use any C++ themselves in the server, 
though it can be used for modules.)
