Wrong. For better or worse, Libtool has a goal of specifically being
usable even without autoconf or automake.
Yes, but this goal is missed.
Similar to AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, but accepts more than one argument.
This will allow projects to use several m4 macro local dirs. This is
especially important for projects that are used as nested subpackages
of larger projects.

The answer is two fold. Lyrics and pragmatics.
Pragmatic part is very simple: If you feel from your experience that
