I had to jump around a lot. I even forced the autotools and libtool to  
copy/link the missing stuff. I called the usage for each program  
(aclocal, autoheader, autoconf, automake, libtool) and looked for  
"force" and "copy missing bits" switches.

Ah... yes... I created a directory with symlinks and added it to the path.
