Running automake would sound sensible to an Automake maintainer.  :-)
However, if the user is not using Automake then it may be that they
are not a fan of Automake, or perhaps a reasonable Automake is not
even installed.

It seems easiest to take an Automake-generated Makefile.in and use it
as a reference to creating a stripped-down version which is sufficient
to build ltdl.c into a library using libtool.  That way the Makefile
is maximally compatible with Automake, while not being an Automake
Makefile.
