exporting autotool variables helped me a lot :
export ACLOCAL=aclocal19
export AUTOCONF=autoconf259
export AUTOHEADER=autoheader259
export AUTOMAKE=automake19
export LIBTOOLIZE=libtoolize15

However I've to copy files from /usr/local/share/aclocal to
/usr/local/share/aclocal19 in order to work correctly.

I don't really know what is the best way to deal with this however
I don't like having multiple ports for the same software..

Anthony.
