New Riders has a book called "GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool"
that's not bad, but a little out of date.  There's also an html
version at http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/index.html

The autoconf and automake manuals aren't bad if you skim them first,
to figure out what's in them, and then read just the sections that
look interesting.  I generate the pdf's, print them and stick them in
a binder.  I find it provides a quicker path to digesting them.  A
quick look at the libtool manual should get you what you need.
