Actually an alternative idea - don't add a hard pre-requisite on 1.11.
Instead just add a

   m4_ifndef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [m4_define([AM_SILENT_RULES],[])])

ie, just provide a no-op AM_SILENT_RULES for older automake. Then we
can just throw out 'mylibtool'. People with new enough automake will
get the silent build support, and we can still have compatability with
older automake for RHEL-5 albeit without silent build support.
