Suppose your new Auto{conf,make} are installed below /usr/local, and you
want to use the third-party (Libtool counts as such here) macro files,
which I suppose live below /usr/share/aclocal, then you can get your new
aclocal to find them for example by adding the line
  /usr/share/aclocal

to the file
  /usr/local/share/aclocal/dirlist

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
