Thanks Mark,

my additions, untested, a* (aclocal, autoconf, autoheader, automake) is 
what autogen.sh does. Doing so would need for the poor souls I belong to 
setting the ACLOCAL_FLAGS to the actual libtool: 
ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I<path-to-libtool>share/aclocal -I m4 ../.."

then autogen.sh.
I'll try by tomorrow and report.
