Hi Gary,

Sorry for the delay.

This one is ok.

It falls under the same "we need to revisit this wrt. subproject `make
dist' failure" as a couple of other ones; but we've already said that
we deal with that after we're through your queue.  So please apply!

Side note: it also gives a bit misleading output in case the user has
something like
  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([./libltdl/config])
instead of
  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([libltdl/config])
because of the
| +    if test "$ltdldir/config" != "$auxdir"; then

but I really don't care at the moment.  We should not make shooting in
the foot too hard.
