The Subversion project does this: autogen.sh (basically, buildconf) allows 1.4.x, but the release tarballs are required to use libtool 1.4.3. Works out nicely. Not sure if the checks allow 1.5 or not. *shrug* I'm a big +1 on falling back to 1.4.3 for the releases. The 1.5 stuff breaks third party modules (like SVN) in certain build environments.
