specifically call out libtool but it MAY be installed:
larry at dev-vm:~/libdivecomputer$ locate libtool
/usr/lib/rpm/libtooodeps.sh
/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/libtool.attr
/usr/share/automake-1.13/am/libtool.am
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/libtool.lang

The win32-dll is windows specific option that is required to convince

but perhaps the more telling thing is that I am on Linux building for
Linux, NOT for Windows and it does not seem to be ignored.  Perhaps there
is some OTHER environment variable not being set that would cause the
"autoreconf --install" to work?  Perhaps using

LT_INIT([disable-shared])

which I might infer from Dirks earlier comment?
