autoreconf -i question

I'm trying to "autoconfiscate" an existing project using autoscan. The
configure.scan file (which I renamed to configure.ac) seems to work fine
after the usual tweaking -- project name, version, bug-report, library
functions, AC_CONFIG_FILES, etc.

When I run autoreconf -i to initialize my project I get the following
output:

$ autoreconf -i
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of the following files to
`aclocal.m4':
libtoolize:   `/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4'
libtoolize:   `/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize:   `/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize:   `/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize:   `/usr/local/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4'
configure.ac:16: installing `./compile'
configure.ac:8: installing `./config.guess'
configure.ac:8: installing `./config.sub'
configure.ac:6: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:6: installing `./missing'
src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'

My question: Do I REALLY need to copy all of those .m4 files into my
aclocal.m4 file? If so, why doesn't libtoolize (or aclocal) do that for me?

The project seems to build fine without all that stuff.

Thanks,
John
