The point is to avoid duplicate expansion of AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.
AC_REQUIRE was the simplest way to accomplish that, but there are
certainly simpler ways. For example, AC_DEFUN_ONCE, in autoconf
2.49a. Another alternative is to add `define([AC_PROG_LIBTOOL],)' to
the macro itself. We wouldn't get a warning, but so be it.
I believe you're indeed stumbling across the AC_REQUIRE bug :-(

Please go ahead. If you decide to add the `define', consider it
pre-approved.
