I remember now that as I was struggling with this, someone suggested
symlinking libtool.m4 into the directory where aclocal-1.7 is. In my case, I
have ~/usr/local/share/aclocal-1.7/libtool.m4 as a symlink to
/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4.
This is a kludge, though, and would not work for people on systems without a
resident libtool.m4 they can link to. Would a separate intallation of libtool do?

Definitely agreed :) I know next to nothing about this family of tools, but
the process could definitely be made a tad friendlier ;)
