Agreed.

Thanks for the patch.  You missed a few important changes required to have 
libtool bootstrap and build correctly with no configure.in's... and I took 
the liberty of writing a ChangeLog entry.  In the end, this is what I 
committed:

2001-06-28  Paolo Bonzini <address@hidden>, Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        Libtool now builds with the help of Autoconf-2.50!
        * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ):  Require Autoconf-2.50 or newer.
        (AC_PROG_CPP, AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT):  Removed.  Autoconf-2.50
        doesn't have the AC_REQUIRE bug that required these to be called
        explicitly from here.  Autoconf-2.50 uses this file instead of...
        * configure.in: ...this, which is now deleted.
        * cdemo/configure.ac, cdemo/configure.in: Ditto.
        * demo/configure.ac, demo/configure.in: Ditto.
        * depdemo/configure.ac, depdemo/configure.in: Ditto.
        * libltdl/configure.ac, libltdl/configure.in: Ditto.
        * mdemo/configure.ac, mdemo/configure.in: Ditto.
        * pdemo/configure.ac, pdemo/configure.in: Ditto.
        * libltdl/acconfig.h:  Deleted.
        * Makefile.am (libtool): libtool now depends on configure.ac.
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LOCK):  Use 2.50's AC_LANG_PUSH/AC_LANG_POP
        instead of 2.13's AC_LANG_SAVE/AC_LANG_RESTORE.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_C_CONFIG): Ditto.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Ditto.
        * libtoolize.in:  Use $configure_ac, instead of hardcoding
        configure.in.

Cheers,
        Gary.
