It seems a shame that non-recursive packages must become recursive in order to build libltdl. Using Automake includes, Automake conditionals, and well-defined conventions, libltdl's Makefile.am could simply be included into the package's own Makefile.am. This would allow libltdl targets to be built without any additional recursion, and without creating another Makefile.in.

Thoughts?

What about projects that want to use libltdl, but not automake? We shouldn't force the parent project to use particular tools. As long as we continue to support non-automake parent projects, then: +1 from me.

I expect that just means making sure libltdl/configure.ac can build libltdl.la
as a subproject, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers,
        Gary.
