I gave that a try in a freshly-checked-out-from-CVS tree (using
"--ltdl", not "-ltdl"), and it worked - I was able to build a
distribution tarball ("make distcheck" passed), and to unpack the
resulting tarball and build it on my machine (although it could, in
theory, have worked only because I have libtool on my machine - the
tarball does contain "ltconfig", "config.guess", and the "libltdl"
directory, however).

This would require that you have libtool installed if you're working
with the CVS tree - but that's *already* true.  It shouldn't require
that you have libtool installed if you're building from a distribution
tarball, however.
