This happens when you have `libtool.m4' from a newer (beta) libtool, but
have `ltconfig/ltmain.sh' from an older libtool.

Since you get this error w/ `autogen', which runs libtoolize, looks like
you have two versions of libtoolize in your path, and the libtool.m4 is
from a different tree from the `libtoolize'.
