aclocal will only do it if aclocal and libtool are installed in the
same tree.  If not you have to pass the right -I option to aclocal.

If you're doing this to third-party software, without looking to see
if it will be sensible, then look out.

This is a question for the libtool list.  I don't know the answer.

I don't think this would help you though.
In your case, as I understand it, your configure script has the 1.3
macros, but you want to use the 1.4 libtool.
