configure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
make: *** [all] Error 1
Yeah right. How helpful. What would it take to actually be helpful and say
"you don't seem to have libtool installed"?

How helpful. What would it take to actually be helpful and say > "you don't seem to have libtool installed"? I don't know what message I would prefer. "Congrats, you have obviously chosen to uninstall the libtool crap (or you have chosen a system where it doesn't work). But as I am crap too I now don't know how to proceed." would be a better wording.
