Actually, it no longer does this, as it now uses

 AC_MSG_WARN([*** The top-level configure must select either])
 AC_MSG_WARN([*** [A""C_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE] or [A""C_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE.])
 AC_MSG_ERROR([*** Maybe you want to --enable-ltdl-install?])

But this still looks like an awful kludge to me - users should not be
required to bend over backwards like this.
