prevent spurious configure upon first make after autogen.sh

libtoolize can install new m4 helpers and thus has to be run _before_
aclocal. See autoreconf(1) for the required ordering.

Alternatively you could just switch to autoreconf for simplicity.

Previously a ./autogen.sh && make erroneously did run configure upon the make-invocation since libtool had updated some m4 and thus automake rightly thought it has to re-build aclocal.m4.
