This is pretty old and reported as buggy. In real life, I speculate that v2.2 is used by all but a very few systems. I accidentally discovered that when you create an m4 directory in a module, libtool 2.2 copies its macros in there and this is shipped in the tarball. When a tarball is built on a system at v1.5, it effectively uses v2.2 anyway. If all this is correct, I could not see any reason not to declare v2.2 our minimum version. Using LT_INIT rather than AC_PROG_LIBTOOL would ensure v2.2 is used which would gives us the assurance that all tarballs are created at v2.2 rather than a (possible) mix bag of v1.5 and v2.2.
