- --ltdl-tar is already broken.  Stage 2 should be to get them working with the
new directory structure.

Stage 3 should be to figure out how to support automakeless environments.

Its a fairly big change conceptually, so I dare say that stages 4 through 13
will be to fix things that crawl out of the woodwork in the next couple of 
weeks.

I'll commit as is, and send a patch for re-enabling libtoolize's ltdl options
along with updated documentation.  I'm still convinced that --ltdl-tar is
useless, and might drop that option if it proves time consuming to rework it.

Cheers,
        Gary.
