D'oh.  Of course.  For some reason, I had it in my head that aclocal<1.8
couldn't cope with in-tree macros.

For the benefit of any lurkers that I have confused with my ill-
conceived comments, the recipe for libtool-2.0 with any automake>=1.4
is simply (assuming the macro directory is called `m4'):

  Add 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4' to Makefile.am
  Maybe also add 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.{ac,in}
  Run libtoolize to copy or link the macros into the project tree
  Run `aclocal -I m4' to generate aclocal.m4

Cheers,
        Gary.
