This is the right patch.

Yes, they are usually generated by the ACLOCAL script.  You should be
able to see that on the first line of aclocal.m4.

I think it comes from libtool (see ltmain.sh and ltconfig).

I did succeed to build it, both on Windows 9X and in plain DOS.  This
was an alpha version that Robert released a while ago (didn't yet have
time to try the final release), but I doubt that the differences are
significant.  So perhaps you could describe the failure (error
message(s), the fragment of the script that fails, etc.), and we will
try to help.
