I'm not going to argue this, but just in case you didn't know, you can

  AC_DEFUN([GT_GNU_GETTEXT], [contents...])
  AU_ALIAS([AM_GNU_GETTEXT], [GT_GNU_GETTEXT])

and let users update their files with autoupdate, while you can keep
full backward compatibility.  Libtool HEAD moves to LT_*.

Cheers,
Ralf
