Adding documentation is fine. However, libtool 1.5.22 is not. A checkout
of branch-1_4 does not require libtool at all. And a checkout of CVS head
on m4 requires CVS head of libtool (currently named 2.1a, but it may be
renamed 2.0 when released), because M4 uses libltdl to load a module that
in turn uses libltdl to load other modules, and there has not been any
prior snapshot of libtool that supports this usage pattern.
I installed this instead:
