but, if I upgrade my libtool, there will be no file

cf libtool/NEWS:
New in 1.5b: 2004-??-??; CVS version 1.5a, Libtool team:
...
* make install now deletes preexisting $prefix/share/libtool before installing
latest files.
...
In other words buildconf's
$libtoolize --copy --automake
ltpath=`dirname $libtoolize`
ltfile=${LIBTOOL_M4-`cd $ltpath/../share/aclocal ; pwd`/libtool.m4}
isn't going to find libtool.m4 to perform the sed to create build/libtool.m4,
unless I work-around using LIBTOOL_M4. I don't know how new AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR
is, but:
* libtoolize installs libtool.m4 (and ltdl.m4 if used) to AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR.
so you know where libtool.m4 will land - why sed the copy?
Standing back for a moment, why is the sed necessary? After buildconf, won't
all the libtool.m4's be the same anyway?
Cheers,
Patrick
