Could libtoolize just use 'cp -f -p' instead of 'cp -f' when copying 
the files and leave the timestamps as they are in the original libltdl 
directory?  I admit to not understanding all the details, but that was 
enough to clear up the problem for me (as one would expect - the 
installed sources of libltdl should be setup correctly...).  Seems much 
easier than any of the other options.
