I looked at the ac-archive (http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/) 
copyright.  The compilation is copyright Peter Simons <address@hidden> 
but each contribution is copyright by its respective author.  It is 
not a FSF project so there is no copyright assignment paperwork to the 
FSF.  As a result, it is not safe to paste these macros into FSF 
libtool.

There are many shades of GNU, and some of them do not moo.
