>Description:
	The autotools installation does not provide libtool.m4 in the following locations:


/usr/local/share/aclocal14/
/usr/local/share/aclocal19/

	So, when i run 

	aclocal

	I do not get the code right for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. Therefore, any autotool development project that 
	use libtool to build dependencies, lacks the m4 macro support for LIBTOOL, and the build fails


>How-To-Repeat:
	Tryin' to compile any home-made C project that uses the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL macro to build
>Fix:

	Soft linking (or putting the real file, maybe) the following:
	/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 
	against -----> 
	/usr/local/share/aclocal14/libtool.m4
	/usr/local/share/aclocal19/libtool.m4
	that actually do not exist
