This should be fixed now; I increased the requirement to neon 0.17.1
which uses autoconf 2.5x/libtool 1.4 (thanks Mo! :), so there is no need
to run autogen.sh in the neon directory any more.
(neon only uses the 'aclocal' tool out of automake: I expect the problem
was occurring for people who install the new autoconf/libtool in a
non-system or non-standard directory, so the new 'libtool.m4' doesn't
get installed as /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4. Then neon's configure
script will be using the libtool 1.3 autoconf macros, and it all goes
pear-shaped.)
