Okay, I'll commit that while looking forward to your test case :-)

Yes it is supported in modern (certainly CVS, probably 1.5.x, not 1.4 
IIRC)
libtoolen.  The LT_WITH_LTDL macro is supposed to add options to the
configure script to allow the package builder to specify whether they
want to link against an installed libltdl, or use the bundled sources.

More test cases?  Fantastic!  Libltdl particularly has almost no test 
coverage at all at the moment :-(

Cheers,
        Gary.
