Details:

At configure time, Gnuastro needs to check if the system has GNU Libtool
installed. On my system, the configure script (following PATH), doesn't look
into the current directory. But based on the system configuration, some users
might have the current directory in their PATH. Gnuastro comes with its own
internal implementation of GNU Libtool. As a result, the configure script will
find the libtool in Gnuastro's build and think that the system has GNU
Libtool. Therefore if the system doesn't have libtool, or if the libtool isn't
GNU, then the BuildProgram check fails.

The libtool check must be corrected to make sure the current directory is not
checked when looking for Libtool.
