Usually programs that are fully autoconf-iscated will ship a subset of
libtool sources in the tarball, build a custom version at configure
time, and invoke it from the Makefile via ./libtool. This has the
advantage that only the maintainer needs to have libtool installed. OTOH
we do not use Autoconf and I think this contributes to 99% of the bad
name for Autoconf, so it's not something we want.
Another option would be to not use autoconf at all.

You probably mean libtool?
Building ELF shared
libs isn't that difficuilt these days. Question is whenever there is any
non-ELF platform we care about (Windows maybe?).
... and Darwin?
