Autoconf requires m4 1.4.5+.  I doubt libtool requires anything newer,
although newer versions have fewer bugs and faster performance.  On some
platforms, m4 1.4.10 has known issues that make it incompatible with
libtool (anywhere that fopen(file,"a+") seeks to the end like BSD rather
than starting reads at offset 0 like Linux).
