Hm sorry, but this is strange. I don't know why it shoudln't find libtool...

It apparently wasn't working quite correctly in some scenario, that's why it's
there. Maybe automake or something was complaining about the shipped version
of the macros? Sorry, I don't remember it correctly now, but it was tested by
Craig also, so I've pushed it as it is.

Anyone with the better knowledge of the autofoo stuff, who could shed some
light on this?

AFAIK, there's no such guideline. If you do plan to add for example package
which would track the git version of zeromq, then yes, it would be good idea
to split it and reuse the common parts.
