No, that's not automake, instead it's the libtool package. I've recently
upgraded to suse9.3 which has libtool-1.5.14 and I ran "libtoolize" from
that package. Maybe I didn't notice that ./autogen.sh does *not* run
libtoolize. In any case, then my removal of ltmain.sh was wrong and
should be reverted. Sorry for that.
By the way, we also have the file "acinclude.m4" in CVS. In current
automake/autoconf versions it is advised *against* that file, so at some
point in the future we should consider removing that file altogether. At
the moment it probably masks some local macros that should be used.
Whatever. Okay, I won't touch these things again and will only silently
whine about locally changed files...
