Why not using something more simple, such as passing an envvar with
the version or things like this?
In fact, I don't know too well what is the exact problem you're
fighting with, but if I understand correctly, AC_PROG_LIBTOOL runs
ltconfig, so when running it, it sure can pass its version by envvar
and have ltconfig check it. Conversely, since AC_PROG_LIBTOOL will
run ltconfig, it sure knows where it is, so it can run a simple grep
to fetch the version, and ensure the comparison.
Autoconf has already comparable machinery for AC_PREREQ. I can make
it ``public'' for you to use it.
I don't want to document it, since it would be tempting for people to
use it.
Or you can just import the corresponding code.
