I've just thought of a way to avoid any compatibility problems between
libtool components: embedding ltconfig, ltmain.sh and ltcf-*.sh in
libtool.m4.  AC_PROG_LIBTOOL would extract ltconfig and ltmain.sh into
the build dir, then proceed to the usual configuration stuff.

There are two approaches to extracting the scripts: we may get their
contents into the configure script, through some macro, or try to
arrange for configure to find them in libtool.m4 or aclocal.m4,
avoiding the duplication of the scripts, but risking not finding the
m4 file.

Opinions?
