I believe that backward compatability has been mostly respected.

One thing I am aware of is that there is now a requirement that 
libtool be initialized before libltdl is initialized.  There is some 
newer syntax now.  This is what I am using for my nonrecursive project 
which also configures and builds libltdl nonrecursively.

# Configure libtool
AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
LT_INIT([disable-shared win32-dll])
LT_LANG([C++])
AC_SUBST(LIBTOOL_DEPS)

# Configure libltdl
LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR([ltdl])
LTDL_INIT([convenience nonrecursive])

Building libltdl nonrecursively saves a lot of configure time, and it 
makes the package smaller.

I hope it is nice and warm in North Dakota. :-)
