I'll check out what happens when I install local versions of
autoconf and libtool.  Later, though.  I have my day job...

$ for f in autoconf automake libtool ; do printf "\n$f\n";which -a $f;done

autoconf
/usr/bin/autoconf

automake
/u/ROOT/usr/local/bin/automake
/usr/bin/automake

libtool
/usr/bin/libtool

configure.ac
