Well, part of my refusal is that I am both not very good at writing
documentation in general, then also in English, the other part is that I
don't understand the stuff well enough.

Just to put this into perspective: Libtool branch-1-5 merely makes use
of:
m4_define
m4_ifdef
m4_ifndef
So, if Autoconf has any macros in that list which Libtool should not use
at all/under that name, nothing is really lost before we release 2.0.
