Oh, I should have explained a little more verbosely:

For 1.5.x, you put
  AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
  AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
in your configure.ac (or whereever else they are now).
For branch-2-0, all the macro naming has been cleaned up an unified.
Instead of above two lines you now write
  LT_INIT([dlopen])

If you has used only the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL line, running `autoupdate'
should have changed that automatically to LT_INIT.  autoupdate cannot do
the second step alone, it will warn you that you need to do that
yourself.  OK?

Great.
