It would be difficult.  I have machines with newer libtools, but other 
things are broken about them, such as doxygen.  And for compatibility 
reasons, I can't just upgrade libtools on the older machine I build the 
source tarball on.

If you need to use the platform autotools, run the bootstrap script 
instead of the configure script.  Any parameters it does not understand, 
it passes on the configure.
