That is a good idea. What do you think the interface should be? Maybe:
$ libtoolize --macro-files
/usr/local/share/libtool/m4/libtool.m4
/usr/local/share/libtool/m4/ltdl.m4
/usr/local/share/libtool/m4/ltoptions.m4
/usr/local/share/libtool/m4/ltsugar.m4
/usr/local/share/libtool/m4/ltversion.m4
Cheers,
Gary.
