[Adding bug-autoconf, replies can drop libtool]

Sounds like it's time to document the m4_provide and m4_provide_if
portions of m4sugar.  They are stable enough that they should not remain
undocumented, especially now that you are suggesting their use.

Also, the manual mentions AC_PROVIDE (a synonym for m4_provide), but does
not document it; and it also lacks documentation for AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE (a
synonym for m4_provide_if).  When writing autoconf macros instead of
m4sugar scripts, using the AC_ spellings looks a bit nicer.
