While on the subject of autogen.sh, would anyone have any objections to
putting stuff in like:

LIBTOOLIZE=${LIBTOOLIZE-libtoolize}

and using $LIBTOOLIZE in the appropriate places in the script. Same for
autoconf, automake, etc. This is so that people with weird, nonstandard
names for tools can build without having to modify autogen.sh. (e.g.,
OS X has glibtoolize, *bsd has differently named autoconf and automake,
etc.)
