+       libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
+       When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
+       defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
+       in configure.ac.  But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
+       version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT.  So
+       suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
+       * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
+       with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
+       * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend.  Also, add a call to macro
+       AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
+       not fail for the wrong reasons.
+       * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
+       works with LT_INIT-based interface.
+       Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.
