In my experience, Libtool CVS generally works with Autoconf CVS.  In
fact, that is what I have been using for the past couple of years for
ImageMagick.  Sometimes there are nasty bugs and sometimes things work
just fine (just fine at the moment).  The snapshot at alpha.gnu.org is
a good way to get a recent Autoconf to play with.  Just make sure that
you test thoroughly prior to releasing anything.

Great.  Modules are working well for ImageMagick.
