Surprisingly, even though this makes for simpler m4 code for our  
users, the implementation actually requires slightly more code than it  
saves!!

I've created an 'include-dso' branch in our repository for you to play  
with.
If you want to try it out before my libtool patch 370 makes it into the
libtool tree, you'll need to patch ltdl/ sources in m4 after libtoolize
to compensate by hand.

I find this approach much cleaner than a separate load builtin, and  
unless
you hate it, I'd like to cherry-pick it back onto master once libtool  
has
caught up.

Cheers,
        Gary
