automake-1.10 is waiting on m4-2.0 is waiting on libtool-2.0 is due out 
real soon now.

libtool-2.0 will allow libraries to lt_dlopen other libraries, which
is needed by m4-2.0 that will allow programmatic control of the macro
search path which is needed by automake-1.10.

Not much help... sorry :-(

Cheers,
        Gary.
