Well, there is a problem. If you have libtool-1.5.4, you will notice that it 
does not install /usr/local/share/libtool/libltdl at all. If you cd libltdl 
and do `make local-install-files', it works, but apparently only if srcdir 
== builddir.

I was hoping to just use automake to get around it, but since your point is 
quite valid, I'll just apply the patch which was posted to the -bugs list 
for this.
