I would call your use of the autotools > unorthodox. The problem with a number of autotools is that they are unsuitable for large projects which contain a huge number of independent modules. We initially kicked out automake because of that reason and furthermore don't recommend using autoconf 2.50+ (slow, buggy and incomplete, albeit some nice portability work has gone into it). libtool.m4 is copied manually due to removing aclocal (automake tool) from the build chain. I'm not aware of a command to copy libtool.m4 itself. If you want to propose modifications to the current build chain, feel free to post a patch. - Sascha
