i'm pretty sure those guidelines are for people making their final 
redistributable source tarball ... since you shouldnt be regenerating 
autotools with that package, you shouldnt include the libtool.m4

in the sourceware case, regenerating the files happens often so the .m4 should 
be included to match the ltmain.sh ... very weird things can happen if the 
libtool code that makes it into configure (via the .m4/aclocal) is a 
different version from the ltmain.sh ... i like the one where shared 
libraries are generated but they lack the '.so' suffix :)
