	If you have aclocal (= autoconf) you are required to have
	automake macro that tests for libtool (AM_xx_LIBTOOL).
	Since the macro is included in libtool, the requirement would be like:
	1. install gtk
	2. if you have any of autoconf/automake/libtool, be sure to get all
	   these guys.  if you have none of them, that's fine.

	Another thing is that autoconf is required to be 2.13 or later;
	otherwise autoheader would generate empty config.h.in and the build
	will fail with strange result.
