I think I have identified the root of my problems.  The LIBTOOL definitions
are found in libtool.m4 and libtool.m4 is found in /usr/local/share/aclocal.
However, neither gnu-autotools/bin/aclocal nor aclocal19 search
/usr/local/share/aclocal by default.  They only search
/usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/aclocal-1.9 and /usr/local/share/aclocal19
respectively.  To get either of these tools to find libtool.m4, I needed
to use "-I /usr/local/share/aclocal" as an argument to aclocal.

Doing this allows either aclocal to expand the LIBTOOL macros, but also
gives many warning about underquoted references found in other .m4 files in
/usr/local/share/aclocal, so I'm not sure my solution is the best one.

I'll be submitting a PR containing a new port for mod_cplusplus now that
I've got it building.
