Details:

When running bootstrap on the default code (and as far back as I can remember,
too), glibtoolize issues some error messages

{verbatim}
$ ./bootstrap
./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out octave sources...

glibtoolize: Consider adding '-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
{verbatim}

These errors don't appear to matter: bootstrap proceeds and succeeds, and I'm
still able to build Octave from the bootstrapped source tree. But they're
disturbing to see if you're not expecting them: they're highlighted in bright
red in the terminal display, and sure look like something's going wrong.

Can these be cleaned up?
