So, am I reading Libtool would be a better host for this macro?

So we still face the problem I was referring to: aclocal will bring
them in, and Gettext's version will be overriden.  But I'm OK with
taking this risk.  For instance, m4_include could require the #serial
of the file, and then autoreconf --install would pick the most
appropriate file.
