aclocal doesn't always find the right libtool.m4

Sometimes, it happens that aclocal installs in aclocal.m4 a version of
libtool.m4 that doesn't match ltconfig and ltmain.sh, resulting in
major lossage.  This patch installs libtool.m4 and gettext.m4 in the
source tree, and arranges for aclocal and autoconf to use them instead
of whatever libtool and gettext the user happens to have installed, if
they have them at all (it no longer matters).  This makes our build
system far more robust.  Ok to install?

(Note that I don't include the actual libtool.m4 and gettext.m4 files
nor any potential libtool upgrades for the rest of the top-level; I'm
not even sure we want to upgrade it at this point.)
