Yes, I think it means that ; vs && was a red herring.

Ouch.  I had forgotten that.

Okay, it is still a regression on branch-2-0 (vs top of branch-1-5) so I
think I need to fix it.  But it seems that the only way is to put the
rules libtool uses for building libltdl in ./Makefile.am, and then
creating a top-level libltdl/Makefile.in purely for libtoolize --ltdl.

Hmm... I'll move the patch to HEAD, and write an Autotest case before
I post, and we can decide whether to port the fix to branch-2-0 at that
point.

Cheers,
        Gary.
