Below are 2 patches, one for apr, one for the embedded expat in apr-util. They add a fallback method to locating libtool.m4.
This is important for systems which use auto-version selecting redirector scripts for the autotools. The fallback method uses aclocal --print-ac-dir to locate libtool.m4, since on such systems, aclocal will most likely be a wrapper script which will invoke the correct real aclocal, which will be able to provide the correct path.
