The package I maintain (as well as ImageMagick) has been using libltdl 
as a "non-subpackage" for maybe four years now.  This was reasonably 
easy to do because libltdl was simple.  However, since then, Gary has 
significantly altered the libltdl structure so it is complex to build. 
If libtool does not provide the advertised "non-subpackage" support, 
then it will be much more difficult for a package to accomplish this 
by itself.
